TL;DR: Using reconstructed phylogenies, it is observed that the Chinese hare is not a single monophyletic group as originally thought and instead, the data infers that the genus Lepus is monophylets with three unique species groups: North American, Eurasian, and African.

TL;DR: There is significant correlation between integration at the clade level and per-clade averaged stress values, on both original data and by partialling out interclade allometry from shapes when calculating integration, which suggests a strong interaction between natural selection and the evolution of developmental and functional modules at theClade level.

Genetic evidence for the persistence of the critically endangered Sierra Nevada red fox in California
TL;DR: Findings provide strong evidence that the native Sierra Nevada red fox has persisted in northern California, as all nine samples from this population had the same haplotype, suggesting that several historic haplotypes may have become lost.

Was the Giant Short-Faced Bear a Hyper-Scavenger? A New Approach to the Dietary Study of Ursids Using Dental Microwear Textures
TL;DR: Compatibility of dental microwear textures of first and second lower molars with diet in extant ursids is assessed to evaluate the hypothesis that the Pleistocene giant short-faced bear, Arctodus simus, was a bone consumer and hyper-scavenger at Rancho La Brea, California, USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Megantereon cultridens (Cuvier) (Mammalia, Felidae, Machairodontinae) from Plio-Pleistocene deposits in Africa and Eurasia, with comments on dispersal and the possibility of a New World origin
TL;DR: African machairodont specimens previously referred to three species of Megantereon are considered to represent a single species in turn argued to be conspecific with the Eurasian species Megantreon cultridens (Cuvier).
