Evolution of the Carnassial in Living Mammalian Carnivores (Carnivora, Didelphimorphia, Dasyuromorphia): Diet, Phylogeny, and Allometry

Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2018
Different living mammals have developed a carnivorous habit (e.g., Carnivora, Dasyuridae, Thylacinidae, some Didelphidae). They exhibit different specializations for carnivory; however, they share some characters such as a carnassial molar. Previous studies have correlated the shape of molars with diet using morphometric indices or surface scans.

Modelling mammalian energetics: the heterothermy problem [PDF]

, 2016
Global climate change is expected to have strong effects on the world’s flora and fauna. As a result, there has been a recent increase in the number of meta-analyses and mechanistic models that attempt to predict potential responses of mammals to ...

Interspecific Affinities within the Genus Sminthopsis (Dasyuromorphia: Dasyuridae) Based on Morphology of the Penis: Congruence with Other Anatomical and Molecular Data [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2007
Among the 19 currently recognized species of Sminthopsis, differences in the morphology of the free portion of the penis can be seen in the tip, which may be bifid, blunt, knoblike, or have a terminal median process, and which may have a subterminal skin fold; and the urethral opening and terminal passage (urethral grooves or urethral chamber).

The evolution of social monogamy in mammals. [PDF]

, 2013
The evolution of social monogamy has intrigued biologists for over a century. Here, we show that the ancestral condition for all mammalian groups is of solitary individuals and that social monogamy is derived almost exclusively from this social system ...

Contrasting evidence of phylogenetic trophic niche conservatism in mammals worldwide [PDF]

, 2017
Aim Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC), a pattern of closely related species retaining ancestral niche-related traits over evolutionary time, is well documented for abiotic (Grinellian) dimensions of the ecological niche.

A suture in time: The ontogeny of cranial suture morphology in mammals

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 501-516, March 2026.
Mammal cranial sutures are important indicators of the biomechanical and developmental pressures acting upon the skull. Across three prominent sutures dividing the vault of the mammalian skull, divergent patterns emerge both taxonomically and developmentally.

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]

, 2019
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...
