Fossils Reveal Long-Term Continuous and Parallel Innovation in the Sacro-Caudo-Pelvic Complex of the Highly Aquatic Pipid Frogs
Abstract
Within the already peculiar Bauplan of anurans, pipid frogs have evolved an array of bizarre features that are commonly linked to their highly aquatic lifestyle. Among the latter, there are several distinctive sacro-caudo-pelvic features shared by extant pipids, which have been regarded as evolutionary novelties taking part of a specialized fore-aft-sliding ilio-sacral joint.
