A new study reconstructs the phylogeny of dissorophoids (this includes famous prehistoric amphibians like Cacops and Platyhystrix) and other temnospondyls, which form the stem-group to the modern amphibians (Lissamphibia, the "smooth amphibians"). Helps clarify the evolution of some cranial features, and includes some good illustrations.



And it's open access! https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-paleontology/article/putative-lissamphibian-stemgroup-phylogeny-and-evolution-of-the-dissorophoid-temnospondyls/08D5E70C938B55A222D2C4DD80626008/core-reader
