“…Amphibamids and branchiosaurids are represented by very small, miniaturized taxa which share a large number of characters with modern amphibians. While branchiosaurids were highly aquatic, amphibamids also include forms that were likely very terrestrial as metamorphosed adults (Schoch, 2009(Schoch, , 2010. Because of their central role in the controversial discussions surrounding the origin of modern amphibians, amphibamids and branchiosaurids have received much attention in the literature during the past 30 years, resulting in a quite detailed understanding of their diversity, biology, and phylogenetic relationships (Anderson and Bolt, 2013;Anderson et al, 2008a;Bourget and Anderson, 2011;Boy, 1972Boy, , 1986Boy, , 1987Boy and Sues, 2000;Fröbisch and Reisz, 2008;Fröbisch and Schoch, 2009;Huttenlocker et al, 2007;Schoch, 2004;Schoch and Milner, 2008;Schoch and Rubidge, 2005;Werneburg, 2001Werneburg, , 2002Werneburg, , 2003.…”
