Stamped 'damaged' by publisher to a non-text page.EAN: 9780521735865Published 29/07/2010Language: EnglishMembers of the mammalian clade Carnivora have invaded nearly every continent and ocean, evolving into bamboo-eating pandas, clam-eating walruses and of course, flesh-eating sabre-toothed cats. With this ecological, morphological and taxonomic diversity and a fossil record spanning over sixty million years, Carnivora has proven to be a model clade for addressing questions of broad evolutionary significance. This volume brings together top international scientists with contributions that focus on current advances in our understanding of carnivoran relationships, ecomorphology and macroevolutionary patterns. Topics range from the palaeoecology of the earliest fossil carnivorans to the influences of competition and constraint on diversity and biogeographic distributions. Several studies address ecomorphological convergences among carnivorans and other mammals with morphometric and Finite Element analyses, while others consider how new molecular and palaeontological data have changed our understanding of carnivoran phylogeny. Combined, these studies also illustrate the diverse suite of approaches and questions in evolutionary biology and palaeontology.1. Introduction to carnivora Anjali Goswami2. Phylogeny of the carnivora and carnivoramorpha, and the use of the fossil record to enhance understanding of evolutionary transformations John J. Flynn, John A. Finarelli and Michelle Spaulding3. Phylogeny of the viverridae and 'viverrid-like' feliforms Geraldine Veron4. Molecular and morphological evidence for ailuridae and a review of its genera Michael Morlo and StÃ?©phane PeignÃ?©5. The influence of character correlations on phylogenetic analysesa case study of the carnivoran cranium Anjali Goswami and P. David Polly6. What's the difference?a multiphasic allometric analysis of fossil and living lions Matthew H. Benoit7. Evolution in carnivoraidentifying a morphological bias Jill A. Holliday8.
