Impacts of the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution and KPg extinction on mammal diversification
Previous analyses of relations, divergence times, and diversification patterns among extant
mammalian families have relied on supertree methods and local molecular clocks. We …

A role for host–parasite interactions in the horizontal transfer of transposons across phyla
Horizontal transfer (HT), or the passage of genetic material between non-mating species, is
increasingly recognized as an important force in the evolution of eukaryotic genomes …

The oldest known primate skeleton and early haplorhine evolution
Reconstructing the earliest phases of primate evolution has been impeded by gaps in the
fossil record, so that disagreements persist regarding the palaeobiology and phylogenetic …

Inactivation of thermogenic UCP1 as a historical contingency in multiple placental mammal clades
Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is essential for nonshivering thermogenesis in
brown adipose tissue and is widely accepted to have played a key thermoregulatory role in …

New perspectives on anthropoid origins
Adaptive shifts associated with human origins are brought to light as we examine the human
fossil record and study our own genome and that of our closest ape relatives. However, the …

A comparative analysis of vibrissa count and infraorbital foramen area in primates and other mammals
MN Muchlinski - Journal of human evolution, 2010 - Elsevier
Vibrissae are specialized sensory “hairs” that respond to mechanical stimuli. Sensory
information from vibrissae is transmitted to the brain via the infraorbital nerve, which passes …
