Coalescent-based genome analyses resolve the early branches of the euarchontoglires. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Despite numerous large-scale phylogenomic studies, certain parts of the mammalian tree are extraordinarily difficult to resolve. We used the coding regions from 19 completely sequenced genomes to study the relationships within the super-clade ...

Endocranial shape variation and allometry in Euarchontoglires [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWhile brain size in primates and their relatives within Euarchontoglires is well-studied, less research has examined brain shape, or the allometric trajectories that underlie the relationship between size and shape.

But how does it smell? An investigation of olfactory bulb size among living and fossil primates and other euarchontoglirans. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Analysis of cranial endocast data of 181 extant and 41 fossil species from Euarchontoglires shows that there was a reduction in olfactory bulb size in Crown Primates, but that there were also subsequent reductions in various other primate clades (Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Platyrrhini, crown Cercopithecoidea, Hominoidea).

Asian elephants are associated with a more robust mammalian community in tropical forests. [PDF]
J Anim EcolIt's the first evidence that Asian elephants are positively associated with robustness of mammalian networks, increases ungulate/primate abundances and minimally disrupts activity patterns. Highlights elephants' overlooked role as keystone architects beyond vegetation engineering, urging conservation prioritization to safeguard ecosystem resilience ...
