Selection and Constraints in the Ecomorphological Adaptive Evolution of the Skull of Living Canidae (Carnivora, Mammalia)

American Naturalist, 2020
The association between phenotype and ecology is essential for understanding the environmental drivers of morphological evolution. This is a particularly challenging task when dealing with complex traits, such as the skull, where multiple selective ...

Hierarchy in adaptive radiation: A case study using the Carnivora (Mammalia)

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2019
Simpson's “early burst” model of adaptive radiation was intended to explain the early proliferation of morphological and functional variation in diversifying clades. Yet, despite much empirical testing, questions remain regarding its frequency across the

Unique pattern of dietary adaptation in the dentition of Carnivora: its advantage and developmental origin

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
Carnivora is a successful taxon in terms of dietary diversity. We investigated the dietary adaptations of carnivoran dentition and the developmental background of their dental diversity, which may have contributed to the success of the lineage.

Use of agroecosystem matrix habitats by mammalian carnivores (Carnivora): a global‐scale analysis

Mammal Review, 2018
1. Less than a quarter of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems remain intact. Protected areas (PAs) are far exceeded in area by natural habitats that have been transformed for agriculture, and PAs are too small to safeguard viable wildlife populations.

Phylogeny of the Caninae (Carnivora): Combining morphology, behaviour, genes and fossils

Zoologica Scripta, 2018
Phylogenetic relationships among 36 Recent and 42 extinct species of the Caninae (Canidae) were analysed, based on 360 morphological, developmental, ecological, behavioural and cytogenetic characters and 24 mitochondrial and nuclear markers.
