Project 367: M. Spaulding, J. J. Flynn. 2012. Phylogeny of the Carnivoramorpha: The impact of postcranial characters. Journal of Systematic Palaeontology. 10 (4):653-677.
Abstract
Previous analyses of the mammalian clade Carnivoramorpha have tended to sample only cranial and dental character systems, particularly those that included early Cenozoic taxa, Viverravidae and basal Carnivoraformes (the latter being a paraphyletic array of taxa traditionally referred to as the ‘Miacidae’). In this study we add more than 100 postcranial characters to an existing dataset dominated by cranio-dental characters. The addition of the new characters permits the inclusion of a large number of basal carnivoraforms, known solely or predominantly from postcranial characters, that previously would have been ‘unplaceable’ in a phylogenetic analysis. The resultant phylogeny recovers most of the same clades identified in previous studies, but resolves some relationships differently within the basal carnivoraforms. A novel (unnamed) monophyletic subclade of the Carnivoraformes is recovered, supported in part by characters from both the prior and new datasets. The inclusion of a substantial suite of postcranial characters expands the ability to assess the relationships of basal carnivoramorphan taxa, and permits the inclusion of many taxa represented only by incomplete material.Read the article »
