Abstract:
Carnivora is a successful taxon in terms of dietary diversity. We investigated the dietary adaptations of carnivoran dentition and the developmental background of their dental diversity, which may have contributed to the success of the lineage. A developmental model was tested and extended to explain the unique variability and exceptional phenotypes observed in carnivoran dentition. Carnivorous mammalian orders exhibited two distinct patterns of dietary adaptation in molars and only Carnivora evolved novel variability, exhibiting a high correlation between relative molar size and the shape of the first molar. Studies of Bmp7 -hetero-deficient mice, which may exhibit lower Bmp7 expression, suggested that Bmp7 has pleiotropic effects on these two dental traits. Its effects are consistent with the pattern of dietary adaptation observed in Carnivora, but not that observed in other carnivorous mammals. A molecular evolutionary analysis revealed that Bmp7 sequence evolved by natural selection during ursid evolution, suggesting that it plays an evolutionary role in the variation of carnivoran dentition. Using mouse experiments and a molecular evolutionary analysis, we extrapolated the causal mechanism of the hitherto enigmatic ursid dentition (larger M 2 than M 1 and M 3 ). Our results demonstrate how carnivorans acquired novel dental variability that benefits their dietary divergence.

New specimens of an as yet unidentified carnivoran from the earliest Paleocene of Saskatchewan are described. The new specimens augment the evidence on which the contentious earliest (middle Puercan) occurrence of Carnivora is based, provide novel information of the lower dentition of the earliest carnivorans, and provides evidence for the earliest taxonomic diversity in Carnivora.

Abstract:
Faunal responses to wildfire depend on the fire effects on direct mortality, habitat structure, and resource availability for animals. Despite the importance of large predators in terrestrial trophic webs, little is still known about how fire affects carnivorans (the mammalian order Carnivora). To evaluate the responses of the carnivoran community to fire, we studied three recently burnt forest areas in the western Mediterranean basin. Line transects were used to quantify evidence of carnivorans (mainly feces) and to measure environmental variables and resources (small mammal abundance, fleshy fruit availability, and plant cover). Throughout the study, we found 212 carnivoran field signs, 93% of them produced by red fox and stone marten. Immediately after fire, carnivoran occurrence was more frequent close to the perimeter of the burnt area, where fire severity was low, and in places with greater small mammal abundance. Small mammal abundance and plant cover had the greatest effect on the frequency of occurrence of red fox in the burnt area surroundings, and this increased with time-since-fire in the burnt area. Furthermore, the presence of red fox did not affect stone marten occurrence. Stone martens were found around the burnt area perimeter, probably because of their preference for high plant cover, and they were not significantly affected by small mammal abundance. The scat frequency of occurrence of both species was not significantly related to fleshy fruit availability. Accordingly, rodents and carnivorans were more abundant where the habitat was more complex. Our results show that the responses of some carnivorans to fire are influenced, directly and indirectly, by habitat structure and resource availability.

Abstract:
AbstractIt was once thought that the endemic carnivorous mammals of South America, the metatherian sparassodonts, were driven extinct by North American carnivorans through competitive exclusion. However, sparassodonts went extinct before most groups of carnivorans entered South America; only the endemic Cyonasua-group procyonids (Cyonasua and Chapalmalania), which immigrated to South America nearly 4 million years earlier than other carnivorans, significantly overlapped with sparassodonts in time. In this study, we examine the functional morphology of the dentition of Cyonasua and Chapalmalania through quantitative analysis to determine the dietary habits of these taxa and the degree to which they may have ecologically overlapped sparassodonts and large predatory Neogene didelphimorphians. We find Cyonasua and Chapalmalania to be more carnivorous than extant procyonids, other than Bassariscus, in agreement with previous studies, but more omnivorous than most other carnivorans and all meat-eating South American metatherians, including sparassodonts. The extreme ecological dissimilarity between Cyonasua-group procyonids and members of the endemic South American predator guild may explain why procyonids were able to successfully establish themselves in South America several million years earlier than most other northern mammals (including all other carnivorans): they moved into a previously unoccupied ecological niche (large omnivore) and avoided direct competition with incumbent native species, a situation similar to that documented in historical cases of biological invasion. The omnivorous diets and climbing/swimming abilities of procyonids may have increased their chances for a successful over-water dispersal relative to other carnivorans, further favoring their successful establishment in South America.

Abstract:
Theropod dinosaurs were, and mammalian carnivores are, the top predators within their respective communities. Beyond that, they seem distinct, differing markedly in body form and ancestry. Nevertheless, some of the same processes that shape mammalian predators and their communities likely were important to dinosaurian predators as well. To explore this, we compared the predatory adaptations of theropod dinosaurs and mammalian carnivores, focusing primarily on aspects of their feeding morphology (skulls, jaws, and teeth). We also examined suites of sympatric species (i.e., ecological guilds) of predatory theropods and mammals, emphasizing species richness and the distribution of body sizes within guilds. The morphological comparisons indicate reduced trophic diversity among theropods relative to carnivorans, as most or all theropods with teeth appear to have been hypercarnivorous. There are no clear analogs of felids, canids, and hyaenids among theropods. Interestingly, theropods parallel canids more so than felids in cranial proportions, and all theropods appear to have had weaker jaws than carnivorans. Given the apparent trophic similarity of theropods and their large body sizes, it was surprising to find that species richness of theropod guilds was as great as or exceeded that observed among mammalian carnivore guilds. Separation by body size appears to be slightly greater among sympatric theropods than carnivorans, but the magnitude of size difference between species is not constant in either group. We suggest that, as in modern carnivoran guilds, smaller theropod species might have adapted to the threats posed by much larger species (e.g., tyrannosaurs) by hunting in groups, feeding rapidly, and avoiding encounters whenever possible. This would have favored improved hunting skills and associated adaptations such as agility, speed, intelligence, and increased sensory awareness.

Abstract:
The mammalian pelvis is thought to exhibit adaptations to the functional demands of locomotor behaviors. Previous work in primates has identified form-function relationships between pelvic shape and locomotor behavior; few studies have documented such relationships in carnivorans, instead focusing on long bones. Most work on the functional morphology of the carnivoran pelvis, in particular, has used univariate measures, with only a few previous studies incorporating a three-dimensional (3D) analysis. Here we test the hypothesis that carnivoran taxa that are characterized by different locomotor modes also differ in 3D shape of the os coxae. Using 3D geometric morphometrics and phylogenetic comparative methods, we evaluate the phylogenetic, functional, and size-related effects on 3D pelvis shape in a sample of 33 species of carnivorans. Using surface models derived from laser scans, we collected a suite of landmarks (N = 24) and curve semilandmarks (N = 147). Principal component analysis on Procrustes coordinates demonstrates patterns of shape change in the ischiopubis and ilium likely related to allometry. Phylogenetic generalized least squares analysis on principal component scores demonstrates that phylogeny and body size have greater effects on pelvic shape than locomotor function. Our results corroborate recent research finding little evidence of locomotor specialization in the pelvis of carnivorans. More research on pelvic morphological integration and evolvability is necessary to understand the factors driving pelvic evolution in carnivorans.

Abstract:
The ecological and evolutionary processes leading to present-day biological diversity can be inferred by reconstructing the phylogeny of living organisms, and then modelling potential processes that could have produced this genealogy. A more direct approach is to estimate past processes from the fossil record. The Carnivora (Mammalia) has both substantial extant species richness and a rich fossil record. We compiled species-level data for over 10 000 fossil occurrences of nearly 1400 carnivoran species. Using this compilation, we estimated extinction, speciation and net diversification for carnivorans through the Neogene (22–2 Ma), while simultaneously modelling sampling probability. Our analyses show that caniforms (dogs, bears and relatives) have higher speciation and extinction rates than feliforms (cats, hyenas and relatives), but lower rates of net diversification. We also find that despite continual species turnover, net carnivoran diversification through the Neogene is surprisingly stable, suggesting a saturated adaptive zone, despite restructuring of the physical environment. This result is strikingly different from analyses of carnivoran diversification estimated from extant species alone. Two intervals show elevated diversification rates (13–12 Ma and 4–3 Ma), although the precise causal factors behind the two peaks in carnivoran diversification remain open questions.

Abstract The article summarizes information on the nematodes parasitic in wild Carnivora of Ukraine. Totally, 50 species of nematodes are known to parasitise carnivorans in the country, 30 species were registered in the present study. Nematodes were found in 14 species of examined hosts from the families Canidae, Mustelidae and Felidae. Maximum diversity of nematodes of carnivorans was observed in Polissia (forest zone in the north of the country) and in Kherson Region in the south. Hosts from the family Canidae harboured 19 nematode species; studied species of the Mustelidae were infected with 15 nematode species, 6 of them were also found in Canidae. The wildcat (Felis silvestris Schreber) and the lynx (Lynx lynx Linnaeus) harboured only two species of nematodes, both are specific parasites of these hosts. The most comprehensive information concerns the nematode communities of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes Linnaeus) and the wolf (Canis lupus Linnaeus), with 19 and 9 nematode species found, correspondingly. From 1 to 6 nematode species were found in other species of carnivorans.

Abstract:
Specialized carnivory is relatively uncommon across mammals, and bats constitute one of the few groups in which this diet has evolved multiple times. While size and morphological adaptations for carnivory have been identified in other taxa, it is unclear what phenotypic traits characterize the relatively recent evolution of carnivory in bats. To address this gap, we apply geometric morphometric and phylogenetic comparative analyses to elucidate which characters are associated with ecological divergence of carnivorous bats from insectivorous ancestors, and if there is morphological convergence among independent origins of carnivory within bats, and with other carnivorous mammals. We find that carnivorous bats are larger and converged to occupy a subset of the insectivorous morphospace, characterized by skull shapes that enhance bite force at relatively wide gapes. Piscivorous bats are morphologically distinct, with cranial shapes that enable high bite force at narrow gapes, which is necessary for processing fish prey. All animal-eating species exhibit positive allometry in rostrum elongation with respect to skull size, which could allow larger bats to take relatively larger prey. The skull shapes of carnivorous bats share similarities with generalized carnivorans, but tend to be more suited for increased bite force production at the expense of gape, when compared with specialized carnivorans.

Abstract:
Emancipating the forelimbs from locomotion for use in other activities, such as food manipulation, is a major evolutionary milestone. A variety of selective forces and evolutionary correlates may influence the evolution of various degrees of skill with which the forelimbs are used. Using the order Carnivora as a test group, I assesed the relative influence of six factors: relative brain size, neocortical volume, manus proportions, body size, phylogenetic relatedness, type of locomotion and diet. I developed a rating system to describe the dexterity of individual species and compared the scores to the six factors using modern comparative methods. Only phylogeny and diet were significanly correlated with forelimb dexterity. More specifically, forelimb dexterity tends to be higher in caniform than in feliform carnivorans and decreases with increasing specialisation on vertebrate prey. I conclude that food handling and feeding niche breath have a significant effect upon the evolution of skilled forelimb movements.

Abstract:
Aquesta tesi doctoral proporciona una revisió actualitzada dels carnívors fòssils (Mammalia: Carnivora) del Miocè de la conca del Vallès-­‐Penedès. Situada al NE de la península Ibèrica, aquesta conca es caracteritza per un ric registre fòssil de vertebrats terrestres. Mentre que alguns grups, com els primat, s’han estudiat molt a fons, el registre fòssil dels carnívors no s’hi havia estudiat en detall durant les darreres dècades. Després de tres capítols introductoris dedicats a la filogènia i anatomia dels carnívors, els mètodes generals emprats en la tesi, i el context geològic i biostratigràfic de la conca del Vallès-­‐Penedès, el cos principal de la tesi es composa de cinc capítols dedicats a la biostratigrafia de l’Euràsia Occidental (amb èmfasi en la conca del Vallès-­‐Penedès), així com també a la taxonomia i filogènia de grups particulars de carnívors. En concret, aquesta capítols proporcionen diagnosis esmenades i anàlisis cladístiques de diversos tàxons —Trocharion albanense (Mustelidae: Leptarctinae) i Albanosmilus jourdani (Barbourofelidae)— a partir de restes prèviament inèdites provinents d’aquesta conca. Aquests capítols també descriuen noves restes de diversos fèlids dels gèneres Styriofelis (Felidae: Felinae), Pseudaelurus (Felidae: Felinae) i Machairodus (Felidae: Machairodontinae), i sobre aquesta base se’n revisa la distribució cronostratigràfica a la conca del Vallès-­‐ Penedès. També es proporcionen contribucions taxonòmiques significatives en els apèndixs d’aquest treball. En un d’ells, es descriu un nou gènere, Kretzoiarctos (Ursidae: Ailuropodinae) —el qual representa el membre més antic enregistrat del llinatge del panda gegant—, i se’n discuteixen les seves implicacions per a l’evolució dels úrsids. En l’altre apèndix, es revisa i actualitza tot el registre de carnívors del Miocè de la conca del Vallès-­‐Penedès, a partir de la revisió de les restes fòssils disponibles. Els resultats de la tesi s’integren i resumeixen en la discussió i conclusions, on es proporciona una revisió resumida de la història evolutiva dels Carnivora en la conca del Vallès-­‐Penedès. En conjunt, aquesta tesi proporciona una actualització del registre fòssil conegut dels carnívors en aquesta conca, principalment des d’una perspectiva taxonòmica i filogenètica, però alhora tot explorant-­‐ne les implicacions paleobiogeogràfiques i biostratigràfiques. Es conclou que actualment hi ha representades 55 espècies de carnívors, corresponents a 11 famílies, en el Miocè de la conca del Vallès-­‐Penedès. També es discuteixen els canvis en la paleobiodiversitat dels carnívors al llarg del temps en aquesta conca. A més de les contribucions al coneixement de l’evolució dels carnívors en general, i del registre fòssil de vertebrats en la conca del Vallès-­‐Penedès en particular, aquesta tesi també posa de manifest la necessitat de realitzar estudis taxonòmics detallats abans d’utilitzar dades paleontològiques publicades fa temps per tal de dur a terme estudis de la dinàmica de la diversitat.
This doctoral dissertation provides an updated review of the fossil carnivorans (Mammalia: Carnivora) from the Miocene of the Vallès-­‐Penedès Basin. Situated in NE Iberian Peninsula, this basin is characterized by a rich fossiliferous record of terrestrial vertebrates. While some groups, such as primates, have been thoroughly studied, the fossil record of carnivorans had not been studied in detail for several decades. After three introductory chapters devoted to carnivoran phylogeny and anatomy, the general methods employed in the dissertation, and the geological and biostratigraphic framework of the Vallès-­‐Penedès Basin, the main body of the dissertation is composed of five chapters devoted to the biostratigraphy of Western Eurasia (with emphasis on the Vallès-­‐Penedès Basin) as well as to the taxonomy and phylogeny of selected groups of carnivorans. In particular, these chapters provide emended diagnoses and cladistic analyses of various taxa— Trocharion albanense (Mustelidae: Leptarctinae) and Albanosmilus jourdani (Barbourofelidae)—based on previously unpublished remains from this basin. These chapters further describe new remains of various felids from the genera Styriofelis (Felidae: Felinae), Pseudaelurus (Felidae: Felinae) and Machairodus (Felidae: Machairodontinae), and on their basis they review their chronostratigraphic distribution in the Vallès-­‐Penedès Basin. Significant taxonomic contributions are also done in the appendices of the work. In one of them, a new genus, Kretzoiarctos (Ursidae: Ailuropodinae)—representing the earliest recorded member of the giant panda lineage—is described, and their implications for ursid evolution are discussed. In the other appendix, the whole carnivoran record of the Miocene from the Vallès-­‐Penedès Basin is reviewed and updated based on the revision of the available fossil remains. The results of the dissertation are integrated and summarized in the discussion and conclusions, which provide a summary review of the evolutionary history of the Carnivora in the Vallès-­‐Penedès Basin. Overal, this dissertation provides an update of the known fossil record of carnivorans in this basin, mostly from a taxonomic and phylogenetic viewpoint, but further exploring its paleobiogeographic and biostratigraphic implications. It is concluded that 55 carnivoran species, belonging to 11 families, are currently recorded in the Miocene of the Vallès-­‐Penedès Basin. Changes in carnivoran paleobiodiversity through time in this basin are further discussed. Besides the contributions to the knowledge of carnivoran evolution in general, and of the vertebrate fossil record of the Vallès-­‐ Penedès Basin in particular, this dissertaion further highlights the need to perform detailed taxonomic studies before using paleontological data published long ago for performing studies of diversity dynamics.

Resumo: Esse estudo organizado em dois capítulos, teve por finalidade obter maiores informações sobre a comunidade de mamíferos carnívoros da Floresta Nacional de Ipanema, localizada no município de lperó, Estado de São Paulo. Foi possível estudar mais detalhadamente a dieta de 5 espécies: lontra (Lontra longicaudis), cachorro-do-mato (Cerdocyon thous), quati (Nasua nasua), gato-do-mato (Leopardus tigrinus) e gato mourisco (Herpailurus yagouaroundl). Inicialmente o objetivo foi conhecer os itens alimentares utilizados por essas espécies, investigar se existe sobreposição entre suas dietas, verificar se existe variação sazonal, determinar a amplitude de nicho e utilização de hábitat. Também foi possível obter informações menos detalhadas sobre a dieta de mais 3 espécies: mão-pelada (Procyon cancrivorous), furão (Galictis cuja) e suçuarana (Puma concolor). Para isso foi utilizado o método de análise de conteúdo fecal (N=257). Os resultados indicaram a lontra como a espécie mais especialista, se alimentando basicamente de peixes e crustáceos, seguida pelos felídeos que utilizaram grande quantidade de vertebrados e poucos invertebrados e matéria vegetal, se mostrando as espécies mais predadoras do estudo. O cachorro-do-mato e o quati aparecem como generalistas, se alimentando tanto de matéria animal como vegetal, e apresentando grande variação sazonal em sua dieta. Além dos dados referentes à ecologia alimentar, foi também possível obter informações sobre padrão de atividade, tamanho e sobreposição da área de vida e utilização de hábitat de 4 indivíduos (2 cachorros-do-mato e 2 quatis) através do método de rádio-telemetria. Em relação ao padrão de atividade, os cachorrosdo-mato apresentaram hábitos noturnos, e os quatis hábitos diurnos embora tenha ocorrido alguma atividade noturna. Os cachorros-do-mato utilizaram principalmente áreas de vegetação aberta, chegando próximo a habitações humanas, porém sem causar prejuízos. Utilizaram o mesmo dormitório, e apesar de forragearem próximos um do outro, cada um procurou seu próprio alimento a não ser no período de amamentação, quando o macho aparentemente levava alimento para a fêmea e os filhotes. Os quatis demonstraram preferência por áreas fechadas, sendo que a fêmea fazia parte de um bando e o macho permaneceu solitário a maior parte do estudo

Abstract:

This thesis concerns the evolution of African small carnivorans, with emphasis on East African Viverridae and Herpestidae (Carnivora, Mammalia). Viverridae and Herpestidae are two Old World feliform (belonging to the cat branch) carnivoran families with a confusing, and sometimes even misleading, taxonomic and systematic history, in addition to a scarce fossil record.

A new genus and species from Fort Ternan, western Kenya, dated to ca 14 Mya (million years ago), was described and tentatively assigned to the Viverridae. The excellent preservation of this material has the potential to shed much light on the evolution of feliform carnivorans from Africa. The fossil record of Carnivora from Laetoli, a Pliocene hominid-bearing site in northern Tanzania, was also described and placed in an evolutionary context. The age of the fossil fauna from Laetoli ranges from 4.3 Mya to 2.5 Mya. The fossil material from this site is remarkable for two reasons: it is extensive in both number of taxa represented and amount of fossil material, especially of small carnivorans, and it is fossilized and preserved under aeolian conditions. In addition to these paleontological studies, two studies concerning extant Viverridae and Herpestidae were conducted. First, the phylogeography of the white-tailed mongoose, Ichneumia albicauda, (Herpestidae), was examined, with the tentative conclusion that its origin is southern African. Second, the ecomorphology and biogeography of African and Eurasian Viverridae and Herpestidae was analysed in order to investigate if these features can be used to help assess their evolutionary history in the absence of fossils. The pattern that emerges in this study is that the species of Viverridae and Herpestidae do not generally overlap in ecomorphology where they overlap geographically, which indicates considerable competitive interactions between the families in both Africa and Eurasia.

Abstract:
As a result of long-term studies, it has been identified that the effects of anthropogenic factors on the formation of helminth fauna of domestic carnivores are reflected in a number of changes. Thus, primarily due to the change in habit of animal, the quantitative and qualitative changes have happened in the helminth fauna: new species of helminths which assume epizootic and epidemiological significance has been found and this has significantly enriched the species composition of the helminth fauna. Due to the influence of anthropogenic factors, the mixed parasitic focuses have formed and 14 species of helminths have included in helminth fauna. The domestic carnivores infected with pathogenic helminths from this focus infect human beings, domestic and ruminating animals from sinantropic focus. Thus, due to impact of the anthropogenic factors, the helminth fauna of animals has changed and has acquired its modern helminthological status.
