“…We showed that some species in teleosts have different numbers of proximal radials (Fig. 2), and we also found some examples in Anguilliformes (da Silva and Johnson, 2018; da Silva, Datovo and Johnson, 2019), Osteoglossiformes (Cavin and Forey, 2001), Alepocephaliformes (Johnson and Patterson, 1996), Siluriformes (Starks, 1930; Brousseau, 1976b), Stomiatiformes (Fink, 1985), Gadiformes and Lophiiformes (Starks, 1930). These species seem to have secondarily deviated from the four-basal rule (Fig 6, 7, black and white circles).…”
