Eutheria (from Greek εὐ-, eú-'good, right' and θηρίον, thēríon 'beast'; lit. ' true beasts '), also called Pan-Placentalia, is the clade consisting of placentals and all therian mammals that are more closely related to placentals than to marsupials.
2.3.3 Order Dasyuromorphia (marsupial carnivores) 2.3.4 Order Peramelemorphia (bandicoots and bilbies) 2.3.5 Order Diprotodontia (diprotodont marsupials)
Two groups stemming from the early cynodonts were successful in niches that had minimal competition from the archosaurs: the tritylodonts, which were herbivores, and the mammals, most of which were small nocturnal insectivores (although some, like Sinoconodon, were carnivores that fed on vertebrate prey, while still others were herbivores or ...
Herbivory is of extreme ecological importance and prevalence among insects.Perhaps one third (or 500,000) of all described species are herbivores. [4] Herbivorous insects are by far the most important animal pollinators, and constitute significant prey items for predatory animals, as well as acting as major parasites and predators of plants; parasitic species often induce the formation of galls.
Expansion in Laurasia was dominated by Boreoeutheria, which includes primates and rodents, insectivores, carnivores, perissodactyls and artiodactyls. These groups expanded beyond a single continent when land bridges formed linking Africa to Eurasia and South America to North America.
Various carnivorans, with feliforms to the left, and caniforms to the right. Carnivora is an order of placental mammals that have specialized in primarily eating flesh. Members of this order are called carnivorans, or colloquially carnivores, though the term more properly refers to any meat-eating organisms, and some carnivoran species are omnivores or herbivores.
This was South America's first eutherian carnivore. ... South America was home to about 25 species of herbivores weighing more than 1,000 kg (2,200 lb), consisting of ...
Theria (/ ˈ θ ɪər i ə / or / ˈ θ ɛr i ə /; from Ancient Greek θηρίον (thēríon) 'wild beast') is a subclass of mammals [2] amongst the Theriiformes.Theria includes the eutherians (including the placental mammals) and the metatherians (including the marsupials) but excludes the egg-laying monotremes and various extinct mammals evolving prior to the common ancestor of placentals ...
