Accounting for intraspecific variation transforms our understanding of artiodactyl social evolution
… to (i) summarize the extent of IVSO and IVMS in Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla and (ii) determine the ancestral social organization and mating system for Artiodactyla. Eighty-two percent of artiodactyls showed IVSO, whereas 31% exhibited IVMS. Eighty percent of perissodactyls had variable social …

An analysis of the evolution of life history traits
… Mammalia species across five taxonomic orders (Artiodactyla, Carnivora, Chiroptera, Primates, Rodentia) to examine the relationships between size, longevity, maturity age, and number of offspring, both within the taxonomic orders and across the Mammalia clade. I found that although the general …

Towards a Temporal Theory of Ecology: Body Mass Role for Activity Patterns of North American Artiodactyls
… of activity of North American artiodactyls. Artiodactyla, a diverse mammalian suborder, reflects episodes of rapid evolution driven by climate volatility, resulting in a wide range of body sizes and morphologies. Utilizing a wide range of body masses to investigate its relationship to …

IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERISATION OF POTENTIALLY NOVEL HERPESVIRUSES IN VERTEBRATE SPECIES
… wild animals belonging to several species of Artiodactyla. Viral sequences from positive samples were subsequently identified and analysed with phylogenetic techniques to investigate genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships. Gammaherpesvirus-positive samples were then used to perform …

Advancing the use of evolutionary considerations in spatial conservation planning
… using a case study for three mammalian orders (Artiodactyla, Carnivora, and Primates). The results of this case study show that differences in PD between species can be used to select sets of species that maximise overall PD within a spatial conservation planning exercise, without the use of …
