Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2020 Mammalian colors and color patterns are some of the most diverse and conspicuous traits found in nature and have been widely studied from genetic/developmental and evolutionary perspectives. In this review we first discuss the proximate causes underlying variation in pigment type (i.e., color) and pigment distribution (i.e., color pattern) and ...

American Zoologist, 1967 This paper centers on selected—and particularly, little recognized— problems in mammalian olfaction: (1) With certain exceptions the spacing of the external nares in most mammals does not favor orientation in an odor gradient by simultaneous comparisons of odor intensities (tropotaxis).

Evolution, 1960 The therapsids are usually placed in the class Reptilia as its most mammal-like representatives. This is on the basis of the now commonly accepted criteria of jaw-ear structure, where mammals are defined as having (1) a dentary-squamosal suspensorium, (2) the articularquadrate joint not a mandibular suspensorium, (3) three middle ear bones, and (4) the

, 2019 Scientific investigations on the mammals of Angola started over 150 years ago, but information remains scarce and scattered, with only one recent published account. Here we provide a synthesis of the mammals of Angola based on a thorough survey of primary and grey literature, as well as recent unpublished records.

, 2021 The overall global pattern of mammal diversity is similar to other taxonomic groups such as birds and amphibians, being the Andes mountain range and the Amazonas in South-America, sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia among the regions with greatest number of species.

, 2018 Mammals are warm-blooded tetrapod vertebrates that evolved from reptilian ancestors during the late Triassic period around 225 million years ago. This chapter focuses on some of the most distinctive mammalian characteristics and on integrated robotic systems that seek to capture these capabilities in biomimetic artifacts.
