Committee on Evolutionary Biology, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA
Proc Biol Sci 273:245-50. 2006....
First discovery of a primitive coelacanth fin fills a major gap in the evolution of lobed fins and limbsMatt Friedman
Committee on Evolutionary Biology, University of Chicago, 1025 E 57th St, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
Evol Dev 9:329-37. 2007..Our data suggest that primitive actinopterygians, rather than living sarcopterygian fishes and their derived appendages, are the most informative comparators for developmental studies seeking to understand the origin of tetrapod limbs...
The evolutionary origin of flatfish asymmetryMatt Friedman
Committee on Evolutionary Biology, University of Chicago, 1025 East 57th Street, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA
Nature 454:209-12. 2008..Amphistium and Heteronectes indicate that the evolution of the profound cranial asymmetry of extant flatfishes was gradual in nature...
100-million-year dynasty of giant planktivorous bony fishes in the Mesozoic seasMatt Friedman
University of Chicago, 1025 East 57th Street, Chicago, IL 60637, USA corrected
Science 327:990-3. 2010..Modern large-bodied, planktivorous vertebrates diversified after the extinction of pachycormids at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, which is consistent with an opportunistic refilling of vacated ecospace...

Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
Proc Biol Sci 274:489-98. 2007..While the date estimate of this event overlaps the probable range of the teleost stem group, a correlation between the genome duplication and the large-scale pattern of actinopterygian phylogeny remains elusive...

Ecomorphological selectivity among marine teleost fishes during the end-Cretaceous extinctionMatt Friedman
Committee on Evolutionary Biology, University of Chicago, 1025 East 57th Street, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106:5218-23. 2009..Many modern large-bodied, predatory taxa currently suffering from overexploitation, such billfishes and tunas, first occur in the Paleocene, when they appear to have filled the functional space vacated by some extinction victims...
