The Common Descent Podcast   /     Episode 212 - Temnospondyls

Description

When vertebrates first moved onto land, they gave rise to a variety of amphibious tetrapods. The most diverse and successful of these were temnospondyls, which were some of the most important species in early land and freshwater environments. This episode, we’ll explore temnospondyls’ evolutionary history, their ecological variety, and their mysterious connection to modern amphibians. In the news: domesticating dogs, early birds, color evolution, and changing seeds.
