▪ Abstract A rich fossil record documents nonmammalian evolution. In recent years, the
application of cladistic methodology has shed valuable light on the relationships within the …

The dicynodont wastebasket genus Dicynodon is revised following a comprehensive review
of nominal species. Most nominal species of Dicynodon pertain to other well-known …

Mammals are the dominant large animals of today, occurring in virtually every environment.
This book is an account of the remarkable 320 million year long fossil record that documents …

Mammals are arguably the most conspicuous tetrapods in the modern biota. Although there
are fewer extant mammal species (~ 5,500) than birds (~ 10,000) or squamates (~ 10,000) …

Anomodont synapsids represent the dominant herbivores of Permian and Triassic terrestrial
vertebrate ecosystems. Their taxonomic diversity and morphological disparity in combination …

Fossil fishes and tetrapods (amphibians and reptiles) have been discovered at 81 localities
in the Upper Permian of the Southern Urals area of European Russia. The first sites were …

Anomodontia was the most successful herbivorous clade of the mammalian stem lineage
(non‐mammalian synapsids) during the late Permian and Early Triassic. Among …

The reflected lamina of the angular has long been portrayed as a key component in
understanding the evolution of the mammalian mandible and middle ear, yet the function of …

Dicynodont therapsids have been known from the Upper Permian of Eastern Europe since
the beginning of the twentieth century, but the phylogenetic relationships of these taxa have …

Cranial material of the dicynodont Endothiodon from the middle fossiliferous horizon of the
Permian Ruhuhu Formation (Ruhuhu Basin, Tanzania) is described as a new species, E …
