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 ...
