Long-fuse evolution of carnivoran skeletal phenomes through the Cenozoic.

Abstract excerpt

Ecological opportunities arising from climatic change are hypothesized to promote phenotypic diversification. While neontological analyses are often used to test this hypothesis, extant data only capture time-averaged signals of surviving lineages. More nuanced tests require paired and longitudinal climatic and organismal data. Here, we developed the most comprehensive phenomic dataset to date of pan-carnivorans...
