Molecular phylogeny of the Carnivora (Mammalia): assessing the impact of increased sampling on resolving enigmatic relationships
This study analyzed 76 species of Carnivora using a concatenated sequence of 6243 bp
from six genes (nuclear TR-iI, TBG, and IRBP; mitochondrial ND2, CYTB, and 12S rRNA), …

Brain-size evolution and sociality in Carnivora
JA Finarelli, JJ Flynn - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 - National Acad Sciences

Graphite and carbonates in the 3.8 Ga old Isua supracrustal belt, southern West Greenland
We present a systematic study of abundance, isotopic composition and petrographic

Range dynamics of small mammals along an elevational gradient over an 80‐year interval
One expected response to observed global warming is an upslope shift of species elevational
ranges. Here, we document changes in the elevational distributions of the small mammals …

The birth and death of olfactory receptor gene families in mammalian niche adaptation
The olfactory receptor (OR) gene families, which govern mammalian olfaction, have
undergone extensive expansion and contraction through duplication and pseudogenization. …

An early chondrichthyan and the evolutionary assembly of a shark body plan
Although relationships among the major groups of living gnathostomes are well established,
the relatedness of early jawed vertebrates to modern clades is intensely debated. Here, we …
