Climate-Driven Body Size Changes in Birds and Mammals Reveal Environmental Tolerance Limits. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolWithin bird and mammal species, individuals with smaller body mass and shorter body length measurements occupy habitats in closer proximity to warm niche limits. Additionally, habitats closer to species dry niche limits were associated with smaller body sizes in bird and mammal species.

The historical biogeography of Mammalia [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2011 Palaeobiogeographic reconstructions are underpinned by phylogenies, divergence times and ancestral area reconstructions, which together yield ancestral area chronograms that provide a basis for proposing and testing hypotheses of dispersal and vicariance.

, 2014 Mammalia plates and Scotophilus dinganii (Smith) Barnard (1950: 188) and Waterhouse (1880: 489, 490) listed a total of 51 plates for the Mammalia (viz., 1–8, 8 bis, 8–17, 19–36, 38–52). Plates 18 and 37 were not published (Barnard 1950: 188; 1952: 408; Jentink 1893: 182; Waterhouse 1880: 489; and index to Mammalia volume).

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐

Hypercanines: Not just for sabertooths
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Hypercanines are here defined as hypertrophied caniniform teeth, that is, canine teeth that are elongated to serve specific functions in different clades of mammals and their synapsid ancestors. This article presents an overview of the occurrence of hypercanines, their growth, and their function across a broad range of clades.
