Pelagiaria (Teleostei: Acanthomorpha) as a non-analogue adaptive radiation
- Abstract:
-
Pelagiaria is an anatomically disparate clade of open-ocean fishes identified through molecular studies, comprising 16 families not previously united on the basis of morphology. It has been postulated that ecologically distinct lineages of Pelagiaria diverged rapidly early in the Paleogene. This differs from ‘model’ adaptive radiations like cichlid fishes and Anolis lizards in age and geographic scale, but corresponds closely to patterns in Cenozoic mammals, the group where the concept was...
