Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Zoonotic pathogens, such as COVID-19, reside in animal hosts before jumping species to infect humans. The Carnivora, like mink, carry many zoonoses, yet how diversity in host immune genes across species affect pathogen carriage is poorly ...

Conservation status of the world’s carnivorous mammals (order Carnivora)
Mammalian Biology, 2022 The conservation of carnivores (order Carnivora) can lead to the conservation of other species as well as entire ecosystems since they play an important ecosystemic role.

Noninsect-Based Diet Leads to Structural and Functional Changes of Acidic Chitinase in Carnivora
Molecular biology and evolution, 2021 Acidic chitinase (Chia) digests the chitin of insects in the omnivorous stomach and the chitinase activity in carnivorous Chia is significantly lower than that of the omnivorous enzyme.

Genomic insights into body size evolution in Carnivora support Peto’s paradox
BMC Genomics, 2021 Background The range of body sizes in Carnivora is unparalleled in any other mammalian order—the heaviest species is 130,000 times heavier than the lightest and the longest species is 50 times longer than the shortest.

Journal of morphology, 2021 The evolution of carnassial teeth in mammals, especially in the Carnivora, has been subject of many morphometric and some dental topographic studies. Here, we use a combination of dental topographic analysis (Dirichlet normal energy) and 3D geometric ...

Tremarctos ornatus (Carnivora: Ursidae)
Mammalian Species, 2021 : Tremarctos ornatus (F.G. Cuvier, 1825) is a tremarctine bear commonly known as the Andean bear. It is a medium-sized bear with black to dark red-brown pelage with dense, long, coarse fur; creamy white marks occur on the chin, neck, and chest, and often

Evolutionary history of Carnivora (Mammalia, Laurasiatheria) inferred from mitochondrial genomes
bioRxiv, 2020 The order Carnivora, which currently includes 296 species classified into 16 families, is distributed across all continents. The phylogeny and the timing of diversifications are still a matter of debate. Here, complete mitochondrial genomes were analysed
