Branching patterns of the afferent branchial arteries and their phylogenetic significance in rays (Batoidea)

Abstract Rays of the superorder Batoidea comprise the most diverse group of chondrichthyans in terms of valid species and morphological disparity. Up to the present little agreement is observed in studies based on morphological and molecular data focused on uncovering the interrelationships within B...
