Global climate change results in variations in morphological traits, resource competition,
species diversity, physiological activity, genetic diversity, habitat use, distributional range …

Primate mandibular morphology is often associated with jaw functionality of the masticatory
complex in the context of variation in diets. Recent research into the disparities between the …

Most tapirs are good seed dispersers. An exception is the Malayan tapir, Tapirus indicus, a
seed predator (mainly of large seeds). Little is known about the capacity for tapirs to …

The megafaunal seed dispersal hypothesis posits that mega-fruits co-evolved for seed
dispersal by extremely large mammals, such as elephant-like gomphotheres, which became …

Variations in skin structures can possibly reflect local adaptation to distinct environmental
factors. As the primary interface with the surrounding environment, amphibian skin …

Abstract European Miocene tapirs (Perissodactyla, Tapiridae) are mainly documented by
isolated and fragmentary remains, and little is known about the morphological variability of …

Simple Summary We investigated the effect of climate change on the potential distribution of
268 Testudines species and evaluated their future conservation status. Our analysis …

Camelids are the only living representatives of the Suborder Tylopoda, and present a
unique set of osteo‐myological masticatory features, differing from all other extant …

A large collection of dicerorhine rhinoceros remains, here identified as Pliorhinus
ringstroemi, were studied from the Late Miocene deposits of the Linxia Basin, eastern Asia …

Tapirs have a fossil record stretching back to the early Eocene epoch (c. 50 million years).
Throughout their evolutionary history, tapirs (and their closest kin) occupied restricted niches …
