AI synopsis

What people are saying

Overall, participants demonstrate a strong interest and moderate agreement with the publication, especially through mentions of genetic data's role in classification and the implications for understanding fish relationships. Comments such as 'updated taxonomic classifications' and 'revamped hypothesis' highlight the impact and importance perceived in the discussion, while posts that critique the comparison of fish to other animals show engagement with the scientific details and accuracy of classifications.

AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions seem to acknowledge and support the importance of phylogenetic classifications, with some expressing agreement with the updated systems.

InterestHigh interest

Many comments reflect a high level of curiosity and engagement, referencing details like genetic data and classification updates.

EngagementModerate engagement

Posts include references to methods, examples, and updates, showing moderate to deep engagement with the research.

ImpactModerate impact

Participants recognize the significance of the updated classification, indicating a perceived meaningful impact on the understanding of fish taxonomy.

Abstract in brief

The traditional fish classification methods have been slow to adopt a clear evolutionary (phylogenetic) framework, relying more on anatomical features and expert opinion rather than genetic data.
The first comprehensive molecular-based classification of bony fishes was published in 2013, and this document updates that system using the latest genetic research, recognizing 72 orders and 79 suborders, and resolving the placement of most fish families.
Despite advances, some fish groups, especially certain percomorph families, still have uncertain classifications, and the new system includes explanations and comparisons to other taxonomic proposals, emphasizing evidence from both genetics and physical traits.

@Orland_Sundri @HiveSci I agree, if you want to use a dolphin as a boney fish it would be just as accurate to use a duck. There are many many better examples https://t.co/HXx9QozJ5o

However, more recent studies incorporating molecular data have found that Indostomus aren't close relatives of sticklebacks, but actually belong to a very different group of fishes... https://t.co/mK7d3H0Omc https://t.co/GCGEpBQgxv
