“…7) to become a widely used tool in the systematic morphology of fishes (and vertebrates generally). It since has been successfully applied to a number of fossil and living fishes representing a broad taxonomic breadth, including stem gnathostomes (Giles et al, 2015), elasmobranchs (Maisey, 2001a(Maisey, , 2001b(Maisey, , 2004Pradel et al, 2009;Mollen et al, 2012;Moyer et al, 2015), basal sarcopterygians (Snitting, 2008;Boisvert, 2009), polypterids (Claeson et al, 2007;Claeson and Hagedorn, 2008), catostomids (Fink and Humphries, 2010), gymnotiforms (Carvalho and Albert, 2011;Maxime and Albert, 2014), siluriforms (Rodiles-Herna ´ndez et al, 2005;Lundberg et al, 2012Lundberg et al, , 2014Lundberg and Luckenbill, 2015, in this volume), lophiiforms (Pietsch et al, 2009;Chanet et al, 2012), fundulids (Parenti and Hartel, 2011), kurtids (Carpenter et al, 2004), anarhichadids (Bemis and Bemis, 2015, in this volume), and molids (Chanet et al, 2012). CT scanning also has been applied successfully to questions of functional morphology and other aspects of the morphology of fishes.…”
