Host Phylogeny Shapes Gut Microbiota and Predicted Functions in Captive Artiodactyls [PDF]
MicroorganismsHost phylogeny can imprint the gut microbiota, but it is often masked by diet and environment. Leveraging the standardized husbandry of a zoological collection, we profiled fecal microbiota from 55 captive artiodactyls representing 12 species in Bovidae,

Cranial arterial patterns of the alpaca (Camelidae: Vicugna pacos) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Artiodactyl cranial arterial patterns deviate significantly from the standard mammalian pattern, most notably in the possession of a structure called the carotid rete (CR)—a subdural arterial meshwork that is housed within the cavernous venous sinus ...

The fossil record of camelids demonstrates a late divergence between Bactrian camel and dromedary [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 A new compilation of the Old World fossil record of Camelidae and a recent phylogenetic analysis allow a new assessment of the timing of the clade’s diversification.

The Petrosal and Basicranial Morphology of Leptoreodon major (Protoceratidae, Artiodactyla)
Vertebrate Anatomy, Morphology, Palaeontology, 2022 Leptoreodon is a basal member of the Protoceratidae, an extinct group of artiodactyls variably allied with the Camelidae and the Ruminantia. The basicranial morphology of other protoceratids (Leptotragulus, Protoceras, Syndyoceras) is similar to that of ...
