[HTML][HTML] Phylogenetic analysis of a new morphological dataset elucidates the evolutionary history of Crocodylia and resolves the long-standing gharial problem
First appearing in the latest Cretaceous, Crocodylia is a clade of semi-aquatic, predatory
reptiles, defined by the last common ancestor of extant alligators, caimans, crocodiles, and …
