Genomic insights into body size evolution in Carnivora support Peto’s paradox
Abstract Background The range of body sizes in Carnivora is unparalleled in any other mammalian order—the heaviest species is 130,000 times heavier than the lightest and the longest species is 50 times longer than the shortest. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these huge differences in b...
