| 1. | However, recently published phylogenetic trees treat the Osteichthyes as a clade.
|
| 2. | Bony fishes, class Osteichthyes, are characterised by bony skeleton rather than cartilage.
|
| 3. | This has led to an alternative classification, splitting the Osteichthyes into two full classes.
|
| 4. | Unlike actual sharks, " Epalzeorhynchos " " freshwater sharks " are Osteichthyes.
|
| 5. | Osteichthyes can be compared to Euteleostomi.
|
| 6. | The bony fish ( Osteichthyes ), which further diversified during the Jurassic, were likely prey as well.
|
| 7. | This includes bony fish ( Osteichthyes ), cartilaginous fish ( Chondrichthyes ), and jawless fish ( Agnatha ).
|
| 8. | A more developed form of vivipary called chondrichthyians, the sharks & rays, and Osteichthyes, the bony fishes.
|
| 9. | They are, however, freshwater members of the Osteichthyes lineage which is distinct from the Chondrichthyes lineage of sharks.
|
| 10. | Of the more than 65, 000 living species of chordates, about half are bony fish of the class Osteichthyes.
