Dental functional morphology predicts the scaling of chewing rate in mammals [PDF]
, 2018 How food intake and mastication scale to satisfy the metabolic needs of mammals has been the subject of considerable scientific debate. Existing theory suggests that the negative allometric scaling of metabolic rate with body mass is compensated by a ...

Distribution, diversity and evolution of endogenous retroviruses in perissodactyl genomes [PDF]
, 2018 The evolution of mammalian genomes has been shaped by interactions with endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). In this study, we investigated the distribution and diversity of ERVs in the mammalian order Perissodactyla, with a view to understanding their impact

Accommodation of Dental Variations During Jaw Growth in Ungulate Mammals
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.Using 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.
