Description: The tetrapod vertebrates (bracketed in green) form one monophyletic group including birds, crocodilians, turtles, reptiles, mammals, and amphibians. Their unique common ancestor is circled in green. “Fish”—lampreys, cartilaginous fishes, ray-finned fishes, and lobe-finned fishes ? are not a monophyletic group. Adapted from the Center for North American Herpetology (2010).
