The precise pattern and timing of speciation events that gave rise to all living placental
mammals remain controversial. We provide a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of …

An exquisitely preserved male skeleton of an early arctoid, Eoarctos vorax new genus and
species, provides a unique window into the origin and early divergence of Carnivora …

The order Carnivora is one of the most speciose mammalian groups with over 280 living
species and well over 1000 known extinct species. Here we present an overview of the …

Mustelidae are the largest and most diverse family of carnivores, its record dates back to the
Early Oligocene, and its early history occurred in western Europe; therefore, the finding of a …

Over the past decade, we recorded exact locations of in situ fossils and measured
calcareous nodules in paleosols of the Oligocene and lower Miocene (Whitneyan …

Miocene terrestrial mammals are poorly known from the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Fossils of the
Order Carnivora from this time and region are especially rare. We describe a carnivoran …

Eggs are one of the least understood life stages of insects, and are poorly represented in the
fossil record. Using microtomography, we studied an enigmatic fossil egg clutch of a …

We present the first record of the mustelid Trochictis from the Late Miocene (MN 9/10) of
Germany, a partial mandible with p4, m1, and m2 from Eppelsheim. Trochictis peignei sp …

Eggs are one of the least understood life stages of insects, and are poorly represented in the
fossil record. Using micro tomography, we studied an enigmatic fossil egg clutch of a …

Weasels and mink (Mustela and Neogale) can be difficult to distinguish osteologically due to
similarities in morphology, thus suggesting the need for an accurate tool in distinguishing …
