Abstract The rise of Carnivora (Mammalia: Laurasiatheria) is an important evolutionary event
that changed the structure of terrestrial ecosystems, starting at the dawn of the Eocene, 56 …

We here describe the first partial cranium of Hyaenodon leptorhynchus, the type species of
the taxonomically diverse and widely distributed hypercarnivorous genus Hyaenodon …

We analyse the evolution of carnivoran guilds (body mass, locomotor pattern, and diet
preference) across the Middle to Upper Miocene boundary based on a comparison of the …

The middle Eocene Washakie Formation of Wyoming, USA, provides a rare window, within a
single depositional basin, into the faunal transition that followed the early Eocene warming …

The ecological interaction between small and medium sized South American metatherian
carnivores, from the Miocene to Recent, has been analyzed with the objective to understand …

The order Cetartiodactyla includes cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) that are
found in all oceans and seas, as well as in some rivers, and artiodactyls (ruminants, pigs …

The ecological diversification of early mammals is one of the most globally transformative
events in Earth's history and the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution (KTR) and end …

It is often postulated that mammalian diversity was suppressed during the Mesozoic Era and
increased rapidly after the Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg) extinction event. We test this …

The mammal fauna of Hainin is particularly interesting as the oldest in the Cenozoic of
Europe, and the earliest reference level (MP1–5) of the mammalian biochronological scale …

Paleontologists long have argued that the most important evolutionary radiation of mammals
occurred during the early Cenozoic, if not that all eutherians originated from a single …
