What is Phylogenetics and the Cenozoic radiation of lampreys about?
The development of a movable jaw is one of the most important transitions in the evolutionary history of animals. 1 Jawed vertebrates rapidly diversified after appearing approximately 470 million years ago. Today, only lampreys and hagfishes represent the once dominant jawless grade 2 , 3 , 4 and comprise less than 1% of living vertebrate species. Their relationship to other vertebrates ranks among the more contentious problems in animal phylogenetics. 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 Further, the phylogenetic relationships within lampreys and hagfishes remain unclear, 13 , 14 , 15 and the ages of their living lineages are largely unexplored. 16 , 17 Because of their importance for the genomic and developmental changes that prefigured jawed vertebrate diversity, 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 the evolutionary history of lampreys and hagfishes is a major frontier of organismal biology. Of these two clades, lampreys 22 are more ecologically diverse, exhibiting freshwater, anadromous, and fully marine forms, as well as parasitic and nonparasitic species. 23 , 24 Here, we present a new phylogeny and historical biogeographic reconstruction of all living lampreys. Whereas the early diversification of
