| Popis: | Teeth are frequently used in phylogeny in order to better characterize the evolution of extinct mammal species. While most studies have focused on the adult dentition, the consideration of characters from the deciduous dentition could also contribute to reinforce phylogenetic assumptions or disentangle phylogenetic issues. We chose to investigate the characters of the deciduous dentition in cetartiodactyl taxa in relation to the disputed relationships within hippopotamoids, especially the position of Hippopotamidae. We describe the deciduous dentition of 51 species, among a dataset of 70 cetartiodactyls. We noticed that second and third deciduous premolars have a much lower degree of molarization, and are more suitable for coding than fourth deciduous premolars. Thirty-nine resulting characters were thus added to a previously published matrix, and parsimony and maximum-likelihood analyses were performed. Both analyses provided a better resolved topology for most taxa than without these characters, and with better support for most nodes in the parsimony analysis. Moreover, this analysis provides additional characters supporting the hypothesis of an emergence of hippopotamids within bothriodontine anthracotheres from the Palaeogene of Africa. The promising use of characters from the deciduous dentition in phylogeny should allow discussion of the underlying ontogenetic mechanisms at the origin of dental homology. |
