• TetrapodNarrower topic: Tetrapods evolved within the broader lobe-finned vertebrate lineage.

• ActinopterygiiCompared with: Its fleshy, internally supported fins contrast with the ray-supported fins of actinopterygians.

• OsteichthyesRelated: This branch preserves the lineage from which tetrapods evolved.

• CoelacanthNarrower topic: Coelacanths belong to this lobe-finned vertebrate lineage.

• TeleosteiCompared with: Its fleshy-limbed members represent a different major branch of bony vertebrates from ray-finned teleosts.

• Lobe-finned fishNarrower topic: This is the taxonomic group defined by lobe-bearing paired fins.

• LungfishNarrower topic: Lungfish belong to this broader lobe-finned lineage.

• Bony fishBroader topic: This branch connects living lobe-finned fishes to the origin of tetrapods.

• PanderichthysNarrower topic: Panderichthys belongs to the lobe-finned lineage from which tetrapods evolved.

• EusthenopteronNarrower topic: Eusthenopteron belongs to this lineage, whose paired fins contain internal bones.

• IchthyostegaNarrower topic: Its ancestry lies among sarcopterygian fishes, whose paired fins had internal bones.

• MawsoniaNarrower topic: Mawsonia was a sarcopterygian, with fleshy paired fins supported by bones.

• BichirCompared with: Bichirs are ray-finned fishes, not members of this separate lineage with paired fleshy fins.

• Evolution of fishBroader topic: Its fleshy paired fins are homologous with the limbs of land vertebrates.

• Indonesian coelacanthNarrower topic: Its paired fins place the Indonesian coelacanth among lobe-finned fishes.

• HyneriaNarrower topic: Hyneria belongs to this group, distinguished by fleshy paired fins with internal bones.

• OsteolepisNarrower topic: Osteolepis belongs to this clade, whose fin structure distinguishes it from ray-finned fishes.
