Abstract:

A phylogenetic analysis was conducted to address evolutionary relationships among the earliest members of the Miacidae (one of two early Cenozoic carnivoran families) and to ascertain the position of an ambiguous taxon, “Miacis” jepseni, with respect to the genera Miacis, Uintacyon, Vulpavus, Vassacyon, and Oödectes. The results of this analysis indicate that “Miacis” jepseni should be referred to the genus Oödectes, and both genus and currently included species are rediagnosed. The phylogenetic relationship of Oödectes to other miacids, and relationships among early Eocene miacids more genera

Abstract:

Fossil carnivorans are described from earliest Eocene localities in the Clarks Fork and southern Bighorn basins of Wyoming. Three new species, Miacis rosei, Uintacyon gingerichi, and Vassacyon bowni, collected from the base of the Wasatchian North American Land Mammal Age (Wa-0), are the smallest and possibly most basal members of their respective genera, and increase from one to four the number of miacids known from this faunal zone. An upper dentition of Miacis deutschi from slightly younger (Wa-2) deposits is also described. Previously known only from lower teeth and a single M1, the specim

Abstract:

The Duchesnean Lac Pelletier Lower Fauna, Cypress Hills Formation, Saskatchewan, includes 15 isolated teeth that are referred to the Carnivora (Mammalia). The fauna includes Miocyon magnus n. sp., Daphoenus cf. D. demilo, Hesperocyon sp., and indeterminate taxa; no members of the Creodonta were identified. This is the latest record of Miocyon and the earliest record of Hesperocyon. The fauna is transitional between Uintan carnivoran faunas that were dominated by miacids and the establishment in the early Chadronian of the White River carnivoran chronofauna, and suggests that the transition, wh

Abstract:

Calculations of “rates of evolution” have been applied to a variety of indicators of change within populations, species, or higher taxa. This has led to confusion about taxonomic and temporal scaling, particularly when rates are calculated for supposedly “equivalent” taxonomic ranks, or “higher-level” taxa that are not monophyletic groups. All calculations of rates of evolutionary change require accurate temporal calibration. Even in studies of molecular evolution that assume a “molecular clock”, the rate at which any clock ticks must be calibrated empirically by fossil data on the age of dive

Abstract:

Abstract The Order Carnivora contains a diverse set of mammals, including well-known species such cats, dogs, lions, bears, and seals, as well as enigmatic animals such as the stink badgers (Mydaus spp.), the African Palm Civet (Nandinia binotata), and the Fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox). 7ere are currently 286 recognized species of living carnivorans (e.g., Fig. 1), which vary widely in morphology, ecology, physiology, and behavior (1, 2). Size range among carnivoran species is broader than in any other mammalian order, with body weight varying 1000 times among its representatives. theOrder Carniv
