Post K-Pg diversification of the mammalian order Eulipotyphla as suggested by phylogenomic analyses of ultra-conserved elements.

Evolutionary history of Carnivora (Mammalia, Laurasiatheria) inferred from mitochondrial genomes

The complete mitochondrial genomes were analysed to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships and to estimate divergence times among species of Carnivora, leading to a robust resolution of suprafamilial and intrafamilial relationships.

Updating the evolutionary history of Carnivora (Mammalia): a new species-level supertree complete with divergence time estimates

Together, the two carnivore supertrees remain the only complete phylogenetic estimates for all extant species and the new supertree, like the old one, will form a key tool in helping us to further understand the biology of this charismatic group of carnivores.

On the phylogeny of Mustelidae subfamilies: analysis of seventeen nuclear non-coding loci and mitochondrial complete genomes

This study brings new perspectives on the previously obscured phylogenetic relationships among Mustelidae subfamilies and provides another example demonstrating the effectiveness of nuclear non-coding loci for reconstructing evolutionary histories in a group that has undergone rapid bursts of speciation.

Exploring Massive Incomplete Lineage Sorting in Arctoids (Laurasiatheria, Carnivora).

This work applied a combination of high-throughput computational strategies to screen carnivore and related genomes in silico for randomly inserted retroposed elements that were used to identify inconsistent phylogenetic patterns in the Arctoidea group, which is well known for phylogenetic discordances.

Comprehensive species set revealing the phylogeny and biogeography of Feliformia (Mammalia, Carnivora) based on mitochondrial DNA

The results suggest that the climate cooling during 30–27 Ma assisted Feliformia migration from the African mainland to Madagascar by creating a short-lived ice bridge across the Mozambique Channel.

Aardwolf Population Diversity and Phylogenetic Positioning Inferred Using Complete Mitochondrial Genomes

Through the investigation of complete mitochondrial genomes from five individuals from a single population within South Africa, it is found that the mitochondrial diversity of this population to be neither particularly high nor low compared to a number of other mammalian species.

Phylogeny of the Carnivora (Mammalia): congruence vs incompatibility among multiple data sets.

Conditional data combination analyses of the four independent data sets indicate that the phylogenetic results derived from each generally agree, with two exceptions, and demonstrates that while a CDC method may reject the null hypothesis of homogeneity for a particular partition, including that partition in combined analyses, may nevertheless provide an overall increase in phylogenetic signal.

Multigene phylogeny of the Mustelidae: Resolving relationships, tempo and biogeographic history of a mammalian adaptive radiation

Using Bayesian dating techniques, phylogenetic and dating analyses suggest that mustelid diversification may have been spurred by a combination of faunal turnover events and diversification at lower trophic levels, ultimately caused by climatically driven environmental changes.

Molecular phylogeny of the carnivora (mammalia): assessing the impact of increased sampling on resolving enigmatic relationships.

This study analyzed 76 species of Carnivora using a concatenated sequence of 6243 bp from six genes, representing the most comprehensive sampling yet undertaken for reconstructing the phylogeny of this clade.

Molecular phylogenetics and the origins of placental mammals

The potential weaknesses of limited character and taxon sampling are addressed in a comprehensive molecular phylogenetic analysis of 64 species sampled across all extant orders of placental mammals, providing new insight into the pattern of the early placental mammal radiation.

Single origin of Malagasy Carnivora from an African ancestor

A multi-gene phylogenetic analysis is used to show that Malagasy carnivorans are monophyletic and thus the product of a single colonization of Madagascar by an African ancestor, and that a single event cannot explain the presence of both groups in Madagascar.

Placental mammal diversification and the Cretaceous–Tertiary boundary

The largest available molecular data set for placental mammals is investigated, which includes segments of 19 nuclear and three mitochondrial genes for representatives of all extant placental orders and permits simultaneous constraints from the fossil record and allows rates of molecular evolution to vary on different branches of a phylogenetic tree.
