Virtual Endocast Morphology of Mesotheriidae (Mammalia, Notoungulata, Typotheria): New Insights and Implications on Notoungulate Encephalization and Brain Evolution
(Springer, 2017-12)
We provide morphological, quantitative, and qualitative studies of cranial endocasts of mesotheriid notoungulates solving previous open debate on notoungulate endocasts. For that purpose, we use the most accurate digital ...
Differential influences of allometry, phylogeny and environment on the vast rostral shape diversity of extinct South American notoungulates
(2017)
Understanding the mechanisms responsible for phenotypic diversification, and the associated underlying constraints and ecological factors represents a central issue in evolutionary biology. Mammals present a wide variety ...
Systematic revision of Antepithecus brachystephanus Ameghino, 1901, and dental eruption sequence in Eocene “notopithecines” (Notoungulata) from Patagonia
(Elsevier Masson, 2014-05)
In this contribution, a detailed systematic study of all species previously placed into the genus Antepithecus, a Barrancan (middle Eocene) “notopithecine” from Patagonia, is performed. In addition, other species described ...
Early steps in the radiation of notoungulate mammals in southern South America: A new henricosborniid from the Eocene of Patagonia
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Institute of Paleobiology, 2019-07)
Here we describe a new notoungulate mammal from the early Eocene (Itaboraian SALMA) of Chubut, Argentinian Patagonia, from the localities of Las Flores and Las Violetas Farm, represented by fragments of maxilla and isolated ...
Inferring habitat and feeding behaviour of early Miocene notoungulates from Patagonia
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-06)
Notoungulates, native fossil mammals of South America, have been usually studied from a taxonomic point of view, whereas their palaeobiology has been largely neglected. For example, morpho-functional or eco-morphological ...
Differential influences of allometry, phylogeny and environment on the rostral shape diversity of extinct South American notoungulates
(The Royal Society, 2018-01)
Understanding the mechanisms responsible for phenotypic diversification, and the associated underlying constraints and ecological factors represents a central issue in evolutionary biology. Mammals present a wide variety ...
