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

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.
