This study examines sexual dimorphism and geographic variation in Washington bobcat skulls, finding significant sex-based differences and minor regional effects on skull size and shape.

This study examines how body shape, size, and limb lengths vary with climate in three mustelid species, finding that body size increases in colder climates but body shape and limb lengths change differently across species.

This study quantifies body shape and appendicular skeleton traits in lagomorphs to identify key skeletal components driving shape diversity and how body size, ecotype, and locomotion influence morphology.

This study uses a comprehensive fossil dataset to show that Cenozoic climate changes influenced skeletal diversification in carnivorans, with major transitions occurring during key climatic events.

This study examines the ontogenetic development of bite force and jaw musculature in southern sea otters, finding that full maturation occurs at 3.6 and 5.0 years in females and males, respectively, with sexual dimorphism influencing growth patterns.

This study examines functional trade-offs and covariation among skeletal regions in carnivorans to understand their ecological adaptations and landscape topology.

This study examines skull evolution in Malagasy carnivorans, finding high disparity but no rapid lineage diversification, challenging adaptive radiation hypotheses.
