Predicting body mass in Ruminantia using postcranial measurements
Journal of Morphology, 2023 AbstractSize plays an important role in mammalian ecology. Accurate prediction of body mass is therefore critical for inferring aspects of ecology in extinct mammals. The unique digestive physiology of extant ruminant artiodactyls, in particular, is suggested to place constraints on their body mass depending on the type of food resources available ...

Chromosome painting in Tragulidae facilitates the reconstruction of Ruminantia ancestral karyotype
Chromosome Research, 2011Although Tragulidae, as the basal family in Ruminantia phylogenetic tree, is the key taxon for understanding the early chromosome evolution of extant ruminants, comparative molecular cytogenetic data on the tragulids are scarce. Here, we present the first genome-wide comparative map of the Java mouse deer (Tragulus javanicus, Tragulidae) revealed by ...

The systematic position of Hoplitomerycidae (Ruminantia) revisited
Geobios, 2013Abstract Hoplitomeryx Leinders was originally described only on cranial characters. The type specimens were found during the 1970's in karstic fissure fillings, most likely of Messinian age, in Gargano (Apulia, southeastern Italy), between Poggio Imperiale (41°49′30′ N, 15°21′58′ E) and Apricena (41°47′06′ N, 15°26′41′ E).

Evolution of the immunoglobulin antigens in the ruminantia
Biochemical Genetics, 1973The cross-reactivity of the immunoglobulin γ, γ 1 , γ 2 , α, μ, and light chain antigens of 21 ruminant species was examined using an inhibition of radioimmune precipitation technique. Although it was clear that the different antigens had evolved at different rates, the relative ranking of cross-reactivity correlated well with the accepted taxonomic ...

The phylogeny and behaviour of Cervidae (Ruminantia Pecora)
Ethology Ecology & Evolution, 2002The phylogenetic relationships of Cervidae within the family and within the infra-order Pecora are still uncertain. Traditionally based on morphological data, phylogenetic trees have increasingly relied on molecular data for the last 15 years, without reaching a satisfying consensus solution. This study intends to explore behaviour, between the rutting

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2006
The family Cervidae includes 40 species of deer distributed throughout the northern hemisphere, as well as in South America and Southeast Asia. Here, we examine the phylogeny of this family by analyzing two mitochondrial protein-coding genes and two nuclear introns for 25 species of deer representing most of the taxonomic diversity of the family.

Dental nomenclature in Ruminantia: Towards a standard terminological framework
Mammalian Biology, 2011Abstract Dental characters have always been important in mammal taxonomy and systematics. This is primarily due to the fact that the mammalian fossil record largely consists of teeth, which show tremendous morphological diversity throughout the group and sufficient variability in size and shape to be used as major classifying traits in subordinate ...
