A new study has shed light on the remarkably convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals, revealing that a group of highly divergent mammals known as Afrotheria and distantly related, but ...

An international research team showed that a group of highly divergent mammals known as Afrotheria and distantly related, but ecologically very similar mammals independently evolved similar inner ...

Euarchontoglires are one of the four main clades of living placental mammals; the remaining are Afrotheria, Xenarthra and Laurasiatheria. It includes Euarchonta (primates, tree-shrews and flying ...

A parasite switching hosts from birds to mammals isn't unheard of, but it is incredibly rare. This has only happened a few times.

That research suggested that members of Afrotheria were the original mammalian hosts of lice. Johnson and Doña expanded the genomic sampling of mammalian louse genomes to include more lice associated ...

Recent genomic studies revealed that sucking lice are closely related to two groups of chewing lice that also feed on mammals, and “each of the major groups within this newly identified lineage occurs ...
