New Eocene South American native ungulates from the Quebrada de los Colorados Formation at Los Cardones National Park, Argentina [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 In the last few years, the Quebrada de Los Colorados Formation has become an important middle Eocene fossiliferous unit in Northwestern Argentina. In this unit, the South American native ungulates were until now only represented by the order Notoungulata,

Potential TMA-Producing Bacteria Are Ubiquitously Found in Mammalia
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Human gut bacteria metabolize dietary components such as choline and carnitine to trimethylamine (TMA) that is subsequently oxidized to trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) by hepatic enzymes.

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

Observation Bias in Metabarcoding. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding is subject to observation bias associated with PCR and sequencing, which can result in observed read proportions differing from actual species proportions in the DNA extract. Here, we amplify and sequence a mock community of known composition containing marine fishes and cetaceans using four different primer sets and a ...

Postcranial remains of basal typotherian notoungulates from the Eocene of northwestern Argentina [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 Notoungulates represent the most taxonomically diverse and temporally and geographically widespread group among South American native ungulates. Here, we analyze anatomical and systematic aspects of proximal tarsal bones recovered from the Lower and ...

The paleoecology of the Late Miocene mammals from the Optima Local Fauna of Oklahoma, USA [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 The Optima Local Fauna represents an important glimpse into the ecological transition between savannah and grassland during the late Miocene (Hemphillian) of what is now the southcentral Great Plains of North America.
