No evidence for parallel evolution of cursorial limb adaptations among Neogene South American native ungulates (SANUs). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 During the Neogene, many North American ungulates evolved longer limbs. Presumably, this allowed them to move more efficiently or quickly in open habitats, which became more common during this interval.

Out of Africa: A New Afrotheria Lineage Rises From Extinct South American Mammals
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The South American native ungulates (SANUs) are usually overlooked in Eutherian phylogenetic studies. In the rare studies where they were included, the diversity of SANUs was underrated, keeping their evolutionary history poorly known.

New Eocene South American native ungulates from the Quebrada de los Colorados Formation at Los Cardones National Park, Argentina [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 In the last few years, the Quebrada de Los Colorados Formation has become an important middle Eocene fossiliferous unit in Northwestern Argentina. In this unit, the South American native ungulates were until now only represented by the order Notoungulata,

MORPHOLOGICAL INTEGRATION OF NATIVE SOUTH AMERICAN UNGULATE MANDIBLES. A TRIBUTE TO D’ARCY THOMPSON IN THE CENTENNIAL OF “ON GROWTH AND FORM” [PDF]
Publicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2017 South American native ungulates include several extinct lineages that evolved within the context of South American Cenozoic geographic isolation. By the late early Miocene Santacrucian Age, the orders Notoungulata, Litopterna, and Astrapotheria were ...

Collagen Sequence Analysis of the Extinct Giant Ground Sloths Lestodon and Megatherium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 For over 200 years, fossils of bizarre extinct creatures have been described from the Americas that have ranged from giant ground sloths to the 'native' South American ungulates, groups of mammals that evolved in relative isolation on South America ...

Postcranial remains of basal typotherian notoungulates from the Eocene of northwestern Argentina [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 Notoungulates represent the most taxonomically diverse and temporally and geographically widespread group among South American native ungulates. Here, we analyze anatomical and systematic aspects of proximal tarsal bones recovered from the Lower and ...
