Phylonyms is an implementation of PhyloCode, which is a set of principles, rules, and
recommendations governing phylogenetic nomenclature. Nearly 300 clades-lineages of …

South America currently possesses a high diversity of canids, comprising mainly small to
medium‐sized omnivorous species, but in the Pleistocene there were large …

The common notion that the septa in the carnivoran auditory bulla are formed by the growth
of bone edges inwards the bullar cavity is a mistaken assumption based on the data of the …

Canid brain evolution followed three independent, yet convergent paths. Each of the three
canid subfamilies (Hesperocyoninae, Borophaginae and Caninae) started with a simple …

The auditory region of pinnipeds has seldom been described. Here we describe and
analyze the ontogenetic trajectory of the tympanic bulla of the southern elephant seal …

La famiglia Canidae, appartenente all'ordine Carnivora, è suddivisa in tre sottofamiglie:
Hesperocyoninae, Borophaginae e Caninae. La sottofamiglia Caninae, è l'unica della tre …

Here we present the first detailed morphological study of the auditory region of a tremarctine
bear, the South American giant short-faced bear Arctotherium angustidens. We compared …

Here we describe and explore for the first time the ontogeny and sexual dimorphism of the
auditory region of Otaria byronia. We studied the tympanic region of skulls of 237 specimens …

The maned wolf, Chrysocyon brachyurus, and some of the earliest canids are known for the
peculiar ring-like shape of their intrabullar septum (an incomplete bony partition in the …

The higher carnivoran taxa significantly differ in the morphology of the auditory bulla, but
little is known about its non-ectotympanic elements and their contribution to phylogenetically …
