Talk:Lepospondyli

Early tetrapod relationships worked out

Ruda et. al. (2003) found Lepospondyli to be the sister group to Amniota but also demonstrated that Westlothiana was the sister taxon to Lepospondyli. Given their cladistic analysis, is Amphibia really polyphyletic?

The phologeny of basal amphibian/reptilimorphs changes every week. I think it's important to wait for some kind of consensus to form in the literature before making drastic changes to the classification. I'd say if two or three papers from the last few years agree, we can implement it. Dinoguy2 19:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Reptiliamorpha

Why does the infobox say the clade is reptiliamorpha when the text says it's Batrachomorpha? Jonathan Tweet (talk) 18:24, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

In any case, this is probably wrong (Reptiliomorpha). Our ongoing studies (two of them, based on different types of data) still suggest, as in all my previous publications, that lepospondyls are amphibians (or Batrachomorpha, as mentioned in the text; closer to lissamphibians than to amniotes). One of them (Marjanovic & Laurin 2016) is available in preliminary (Preprint) version on the PeerJ web site. Of course, not all my colleagues accept my results, far from it, but it would be more careful and objective, pending a consensus, to consider them as Tetrapoda incertae sedis.
