The petrosal and bony labyrinth of extinct horses (Perissodactyla, Equidae) and their implications for perissodactyl evolution [PDF]

PeerJ
Perissodactyla, or odd-toed ungulates, are represented today by 16 species of rhinoceroses, tapirs, and horses. Perissodactyls were much more diverse in the past, having a rich fossil record spanning from the earliest Eocene (~56 Ma) to recent, including

Rhinocerotidae and Chalicotheriidae (Perissodactyla, Tapiromorpha) [PDF]

Geodiversitas, 2016
ABSTRACT Here we describe mandibular, dental, and postcranial remains referable to Rhinocerotidae and Chalicotheriidae (Perissodactyla) originating from the vertebrate localities of Kucukcekmece East and Kucukcekmece West, in Thrace (European Turkey). The four rhinocerotids recognized comprise the early diverging Ronzotherium sp.

Perissodactyla of the Sespe Eocene, California [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1936
One of the outstanding peculiarities of the Eocene faunas known from the Sespe deposits of California is the continued absence of any evidence of the Equidae. Aside from lack of representatives of this family, however, the Perissodactyla include members of the Rhinocerotoidea and Brontotheriidea.

High-Altitude Drives the Convergent Evolution of Alpha Diversity and Indicator Microbiota in the Gut Microbiomes of Ungulates

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Convergent evolution is an important sector of evolutionary biology. High-altitude environments are one of the extreme environments for animals, especially in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, driving the inquiry of whether, under broader phylogeny, high ...

Hemochromatosis-like disease in Brazilian tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) in Pará state, Brazil

Acta Amazonica, 2022
We report two cases of hemochromatosis-like disease in captive Brazilian tapirs, Tapirus terrestris in Pará state, Brazil. Both animals presented symptoms of chronic hepatopathy associated with marked accumulation of hemosiderin.

Convergence of Afrotherian and Laurasiatherian Ungulate-Like Mammals: First Morphological Evidence from the Paleocene of Morocco. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Molecular-based analyses showed that extant "ungulate" mammals are polyphyletic and belong to the two main clades Afrotheria (Paenungulata) and Laurasiatheria (Euungulata: Cetartiodactyla-Perissodactyla).
