Actinopterygii (/ ˌ æ k t ɪ n ɒ p t ə ˈ r ɪ dʒ i aɪ /; from Ancient Greek ἀκτίς (aktis) 'having rays' and πτέρυξ (ptérux) 'wing, fins'), members of which are known as ray-finned fish or actinopterygians, is a class of bony fish [2] that comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species. [3]
The term paraphyly, or paraphyletic, derives from the two Ancient Greek words παρά (pará), meaning "beside, near", and φῦλον (phûlon), meaning "genus, species", [2] [3] and refers to the situation in which one or several monophyletic subgroups of organisms (e.g., genera, species) are left apart from all other descendants of a unique common ancestor.
Even though it has not been reliably observed, some authors have mentioned about them having a tree climbing ability. [ citation needed ] Their method of terrestrial locomotion uses the gill plates as supports, and the fish pushes itself using its fins and tail.
(One minor problem seems to be that the Osteichthyes article is quite difficult to find when just browsing via links - maybe including the Osteichthyes as a super-class in the taxobox would help - currently the next highest order shown in the Actinopterygii taxobox is Chordata - which misses the subdivision of that phylum.)

Madeira vine can climb 40 m into the tree canopy, smothering and collapsing mature trees. [8] The vine grows prolifically; in plentiful sunlight, it can grow up to one metre in a week. [ 8 ] It is also capable of surviving in low light conditions, including under an intact canopy, as a small plant, awaiting its opportunity to grow long stems ...
