How does evolutionary evaluation illuminate body size among canids?

American journal of veterinary research - 1 Apr 2024

Tangredi Basil P, Lawler Dennis F

Abstract excerpt

In this review, we examine mammalian body size as it reflects life history and genomic composition, with a primary focus on canids and the domestication of the gray wolf. The range of variation in body size is greater among Carnivora than any other terrestrial order. In the Canidae, this range is some 2 orders of magnitude. Macroevolutionary patterns (eg, Bergmann's rule and Cope's rule) that have been proposed...
