Interordinal gene capture, the phylogenetic position of Steller's sea cow based on molecular and morphological data, and the macroevolutionary history of Sirenia
Abstract The recently extinct (ca. 1768) Steller's sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas) was a large,

A new tusked cistecephalid dicynodont (Therapsida, Anomodontia) from the upper Permian upper Madumabisa Mudstone formation, Luangwa Basin, Zambia
Cistecephalids are among the most distinctive Permian dicynodonts because of their highly
