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

The Early Evolution of the Perissodactyla [PDF]

Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 1969
Perissodactyls arose from phenacodontid condylarths in the late Paleocene, in a major adaptive shift involving two functional complexes: specialization of the limbs for running, including a radical remodelling of the ankle joint that restricted lateral movement, and a change in molar cusp pattern and jaw musculature that increased transverse shear ...

Perissodactyla of the Sespe Eocene, California [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 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 ...
