A Consistent Estimator of the Evolutionary Rate [PDF]
, 2014 We consider a branching particle system where particles reproduce according to the pure birth Yule process with the birth rate L, conditioned on the observed number of particles to be equal n.

Morphological modularity in the vertebral column of Felidae (Mammalia, Carnivora)
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 BackgroundPrevious studies have demonstrated that the clear morphological differences among vertebrae across the presacral column are accompanied by heterogeneous functional signals in vertebral shape.

Host Phylogeny and Feeding Habit Jointly Govern Mammalian Gut Microbiota Composition
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Herbivores showed higher alpha diversity than carnivores/omnivores, while omnivores had the highest beta diversity. Host phylogeny influenced gut microbiota more strongly in herbivores/omnivores, with phylogenetic distance correlating to microbiota dissimilarity.

The influence of modularity on cranial morphological disparity in Carnivora and Primates (Mammalia). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Although variation provides the raw material for natural selection and evolution, few empirical data exist about the factors controlling morphological variation.

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations
Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Use of a Sendai virus-based vector for effcient transduction of pinniped fbroblasts
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2019 Generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells expanded possibilities of pluripotency and early development studies. Generation of order Carnivora iPS cells from dog (Canis lupus familiaris), snow leopard (Panthera uncia), and American mink (Neovison

The Earliest Ursine Bear Demonstrates the Origin of Plant-Dominated Omnivory in Carnivora
iScience, 2020 Summary: In Carnivora, increases in body size often lead to dietary specialization toward hypercarnivory. Ursine bears (Tremarctos and Ursus), however, are the only omnivorous Carnivora that evolved large body sizes (i.e., >50 kg). Traits contributing to

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The cuticle and medulla of guard hairs exhibit distinct morphological patterns among mammalian species. To investigate this variability in marsupials from the Brazilian Amazon, we analysed guard hairs from nine Didelphimorphia species and incorporated data from an additional 25 didelphid species.
