• AmphibianNarrower topic: Amphibians belong to the broader tetrapod lineage.

• PaleozoicNarrower topic: Early tetrapods emerged from aquatic vertebrates during the Devonian.

• Marine reptileNarrower topic: Marine reptiles descend from land vertebrates with four-limbed body plans.

• LungfishRelated: Lungfish are the closest living fish relatives of the tetrapod lineage.

• AcanthostegaNarrower topic: Acanthostega is an early member of the tetrapod lineage, despite its aquatic life.

• Evolutionary taxonomyRelated: Its nested relationship to traditional fish groups exposes the difference between grades and complete clades.

• HerpetologyNarrower topic: Reptiles and amphibians are studied within the broader tetrapod lineage.

• Bony fishRelated: Tetrapods evolved within the lobe-finned branch of the bony-fish lineage.

• LissamphibiaNarrower topic: This broader evolutionary group contains Lissamphibia and its relatives.

• PanderichthysNarrower topic: Panderichthys shares traits with early members of this broader vertebrate group.

• TerrestrializationNarrower topic: The first tetrapods arose from aquatic ancestors, though many early forms remained tied to water.

• Vertebrate evolutionBroader topic: Limbs and their modifications connect aquatic ancestors to vertebrates on land.

• EusthenopteronRelated: The shared ancestry of Eusthenopteron and tetrapods frames its evolutionary significance.

• HylonomusNarrower topic: Hylonomus belonged to the broader land-vertebrate lineage of tetrapods.

• IchthyostegaNarrower topic: Ichthyostega belongs to the early tetrapod lineage, though its limbs were not suited to ordinary walking on land.

• Late DevonianRelated: The first tetrapods appeared during the Devonian, near the epoch's close.

• TemnospondyliNarrower topic: Temnospondyli belongs to the early radiation of vertebrates adapting to life beyond water.

• GnathostomataBroader topic: Tetrapods are the land-vertebrate branch of bony jawed vertebrates.

• DiplocaulusNarrower topic: Diplocaulus belongs to the early diversity of tetrapods, before many modern groups had appeared.

• Evolution of fishBroader topic: Tetrapods are the terrestrial descendants of a fish lineage, not a separate origin of vertebrates.
