Genomic Insights Into the Body Size Evolution in Mustelidae (Mammalia: Carnivora). [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe comparative genomic analysis of 19 mustelid species provides insights into the genetic basis of body size evolution, identifying candidate genes and pathways under selection that underlie the remarkable morphological diversity in Mustelidae. ABSTRACT The extraordinary body size diversity within Mustelidae makes this carnivoran family an exceptional

Morphology and function of pinniped necks: The long and short of it. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Terrestrial vertebrates from at least 30 distinct lineages in both extinct and extant clades have returned to aquatic environments. With these transitions came numerous morphological adaptations to accommodate life in water. Relatively little attention has been paid to the cervical region when tracking this transition.

Commentary: The missing sabertooth baculum-At what point might the absence of evidence reasonably be considered evidence of absence? [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Most carnivorans and all modern felids have ossified bacula; however, no machairodont baculum has ever been identified. This is true despite the many fairly complete skeletons found around the world of several sabertooth taxa. Although the bacula of modern felids are much smaller than those of canoids (even the least weasel's baculum is longer

Pathogen and Rodenticide Exposure in American Badgers (Taxidea taxus) in California [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2012 Urban and agricultural land use may increase the risk of disease transmission among wildlife, domestic animals, and humans as we share ever-shrinking and fragmented habitat. American badgers (Taxidae taxus), a species of special concern in California, USA, live in proximity to urban development and often share habitat with livestock and small ...
