The evolution of body mass is a fundamental topic in evolutionary biology, because it is closely linked to manifold life history and ecological traits and is readily estimable for many extinct taxa. In this study, we examine patterns of body mass evolution in Felidae (Placentalia, Carnivora) to assess the effects of phylogeny, mode of evolution, and the relationship between body mass and prey choice...
Pinnipeds (seals, sea lions and walruses) are secondarily marine carnivorans that exhibit a wide range of feeding and reproductive specializations. Extant pinnipeds are split into three families: Phocidae (seals), Otariidae (sea lions) and Odobenidae (walruses). Morphometric analyses were used to examine cranial morphology in otariid and phocid pinnipeds. Phocids are more ecologically and taxonomically...
