amphibianderived

Amphibianderived refers to a group of animals that are derived from amphibians, meaning they evolved from amphibian ancestors. This term is often used in the context of evolutionary biology and paleontology to describe certain lineages of tetrapods, which are vertebrates with four limbs. Amphibianderived animals include mammals, birds, and reptiles. The term is used to highlight the shared ancestry of these groups, as they all descend from a common amphibian ancestor. This evolutionary relationship is supported by various anatomical and genetic similarities among these groups. The study of amphibianderived animals provides valuable insights into the evolutionary transitions from amphibian-like forms to the diverse array of tetrapods we see today.
