Morphological disparity of mammalian limb bones throughout the Cenozoic: the role of biotic and abiotic factors

Palaeontology, Volume 67, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract Mammals exhibit ecology‐related diversity in long bone morphology, revealing an ample spectrum of adaptations both within and between clades. Their occupation of unique ecological niches in postcranial morphology is thought to have occurred at different chronological phases in relation to abiotic factors such as climate and biotic interactions

The evolutionary and ecological convergence of the raccoon and raccoon dog: A perfect storm of invasive species in Europe 浣熊与貉的进化与生态趋同:欧洲入侵物种的完美风暴

Wildlife Letters, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 67-72, June 2024.
A novel examination of the evolutionary convergence of body shape in the raccoon (Procyon lotor) and raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) is provided. Their ecological convergence as invasive species in Europe is reviewed. Problems that have arisen from these introductions are described, and prospects for their management are considered.

Reinterpretation of tuberculate cervical vertebrae of Eocene birds as an exceptional anti‐predator adaptation against the mammalian craniocervical killing bite

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 244, Issue 3, Page 402-410, March 2024.
We report avian cervical vertebrae from the late Eocene Phosphorites du Quercy in France that are densely covered with tubercles. Micro‐computed tomography shows these fossils to have a remarkably thick cortex and dense interior. We hypothesize that this unique vertebral morphology served to strengthen the cervical column in the upper part of the neck ...

The gut microbiomes of Channel Island foxes and island spotted skunks exhibit fine‐scale differentiation across host species and island populations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.
We examined the host‐associated microbiome of Channel Island foxes and island spotted skunks in the context of fine‐scale niche differentiation, as it is rare for two endemic, insular mesocarnivores to coexist. We found intraspecific variation between island populations, with greater differentiation observed between more specialist island spotted skunk

Miacis: The Ancestral Divergence of Feliformia and Caniformia

This article analyzes Miacid-like archaic carnivorous mammals within Carnivoramorpha as a crucial evolutionary foundation of modern carnivorans, particularly in the context of the divergence of Crown Carnivora into two principal lineages: Feliformia and Caniformia. Evidence from molecular clock estimations, calibrated with fossil records, suggests that

Evolutionary derivation inferences of the intrinsic shoulder and brachial muscles in crab-eating raccoon (Procyon cancrivorus, Caniformia, Carnivora) based on the topology, innervation, and anatomical variants

Zoomorphology
Abstract The crab-eating raccoon (Procyon cancrivorus) is a carnivoran of the family Procyonidae geographically distributed in Center and South America. It is a scansorial species with more terrestrial than arboreal abilities. Previous studies have described the intrinsic shoulder and brachial muscles in this species; however, all have ...
