New data on the mammalian fauna from the late middle Eocene (MP 15–16) of Mazaterón (Soria, Spain): The youngest presence of the genus Prodissopsalis (Hyaenodonta, Hyaenodontidae) in Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 6, Page 1769-1782, June 2025.
Abstract The Hyaenodonta were the most diverse carnivorous mammals in the European Eocene and were classically divided into three subfamilies: Sinopaninae, Arfianinae, and Proviverrinae, with this latter being the most successful of the three, as it exhibited a much larger geographic and temporal range.

First clear evidence of Anoplotherium (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) in the Iberian Peninsula: an update on the Iberian anoplotheriines

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 6, Page 1783-1800, June 2025.
Abstract Anoplotheriines (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) were enigmatic, medium‐ to large‐sized ungulates that lived in Western Europe from the late middle Eocene to the earliest Oligocene. The unusual dental and postcranial specializations of these Paleogene mammals have no equivalent in other Cenozoic or contemporaneous artiodactyls on Holarctic landmasses.

The Lost Large Mammals of Arabia

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim If successful, plans to restore the vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula (AP) as announced by the Middle East and Saudi Green Initiatives will see the greatest increase in vegetation cover since the beginning of the Holocene Humid Phase (HHP), roughly 9–10,000 years ago.

PATTERNS OF EVOLUTION AMONG THE ARTIODACTYLA AND PERISSODACTYLA (MAMMALIA) [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1981
Diversity changes through time of the mammalian ungulate orders Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla have been touted long and widely as exemplifying ordinal level taxonomic (and presumably ecologic) displacement (Simpson, 1953; Stanley, 1974) since, as Van Valen (1971) has pointed out, they have a nearly identical "way of life" (=adaptive zone, Simpson ...
