Developmental Morphological Diversity in Caecilian Amphibians : Amphibians Systematic and Evolutionary Implications.

Caecilians, or Gymnophiona, constitute one of the three extant orders of the Recent Amphibia and comprise about 170 named species in six families. They are the least known, major living tetrapod clade. Compared to frogs and salamanders, caecilians have an unusual skull morphology. With few exception...

520 |a Caecilians, or Gymnophiona, constitute one of the three extant orders of the Recent Amphibia and comprise about 170 named species in six families. They are the least known, major living tetrapod clade. Compared to frogs and salamanders, caecilians have an unusual skull morphology. With few exceptions, previous studies on caecilian morphology have been restricted to investigations on adult material and were usually carried out on small samples. This thesis investigates skull development in caecilians. Earlier reports of an unusually high number of individual skull ossifications in Hypogeophis r.
