From Potanichthys to Wushaichthys: resolving the evolutionary origin and reproductive strategy of the Thoracopteridae: a reply to Tintori (2015)

Our recent studies on Potanichthys [[1][1]] and Wushaichthys [[2][2]] from China shed new light on the evolutionary origin and reproductive strategy of the Thoracopteridae. Tintori commented on our taxonomic assignment of Wushaichthys and on our hypotheses of gradual evolution of over-water gliding
