Previous analyses of relations, divergence times, and diversification patterns among extant
mammalian families have relied on supertree methods and local molecular clocks. We …

Anthropoid primates other than humans show a conspicuously disjunct geographic
distribution today, inhabiting mostly tropical and subtropical parts of Asia, Africa, and Central …

Abstract The Fayum Depression of Egypt has yielded fossils of hystricognathous rodents
from multiple Eocene and Oligocene horizons that range in age from∼ 37 to∼ 30 Ma and …

Recent palaeontological field campaigns in the westernmost part of the Sahara (Dakhla
region, Morocco) have resulted in the discovery of a mammal assemblage including …

Tenrecs (Tenrecoidea) and golden moles (Chrysochloroidea) are among the most enigmatic
mammals alive today. Molecular data strongly support their inclusion in the morphologically …

The Eocene was a time of high ophidian diversity across much of the world, dominated by

New remains of the early Eocene hyaenodontid Indohyaenodon raoi are described from the
Vastan Lignite Mine in Gujarat, western India, including the first known rostrum, upper …

Based on fossil discoveries and phylogenetic studies, an Eocene Asian origin for
hystricognathous rodents and anthropoid primates has gained strong support in recent …

Anomaluroid rodents show interesting biogeographic and macroevolutionary patterns,
although their fossil record is meager and knowledge of the natural history of extant …

The∼ 37 million‐year‐old Birket Qarun Locality 2 (BQ‐2), in the Birket Qarun Formation of
Egypt's Fayum Depression, yields evidence for a diverse primate fauna, including the …
