Patterns of chromosome evolution in ruminants. [PDF]
Mol EcolAbstract Studying when and where gross genomic rearrangements occurred during evolution is key to understanding changes in genome structure with functional consequences that might eventually lead to speciation. Here we identified chromosome rearrangements in ruminants, a clade characterized by large chromosome differences.

Accommodation of Dental Variations During Jaw Growth in Ungulate Mammals. [PDF]
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev EvolUsing geometric morphometrics, we compared the covariation pattern of the dentition and the palate during growth in 23 ungulate species. ABSTRACT The growth of teeth and jaw bones is intimately linked in vertebrates, especially in mammals due to their specialized dentition and limited body growth.
