About this document
Amphibians: Evolution and Diversity by Zunaira Wasif is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Amphibians, the first terrestrial vertebrates, exhibit a dual life cycle, often transitioning between aquatic and terrestrial environments. They are classified into three orders: Gymnophiona (caecilians), Caudata (salamanders), and Anura (frogs and toads), each with distinct characteristics and reproductive strategies. The evolutionary relationships among amphibians and their ancestors remain controversial, but fossil evidence supports their transition from ancient sarcopterygian fish.
