caniformia
canoidea latin

He is best known for his research about extinct primates and Caniformia.

The other suborder of Carnivora is the dog-like Caniformia.

They form the family Ursidae, in the suborder Caniformia of the order Carnivora.

The group is divided into the "cat-like" Feliformia and the "dog-like" Caniformia.

They soon split into cat-like and dog-like forms (Feliformia and Caniformia).

Pseudocyonopsis is a member of the extinct family Amphicyonidae, a terrestrial carnivore belonging to the order Caniformia.

Feliformia stands in contrast to the other suborder of Carnivora, Caniformia ("dog-like" carnivorans).

The family Ursidae is one of 9 families in the suborder Caniformia, or "doglike" carnivores, within the order Carnivora.

"An investigation of the Vulpes and Urocyon phylogenetic classification: Feliformia or Caniformia?"

Its correct status is dubious, but it could have been close the base of the Carnivora, predating the split between Feliformia and Caniformia.

The Pinnipedia superfamily (walruses, seals, and sea lions), now considered to be part of Caniformia, are medium to large (to 6.5 m) aquatic mammals.

Suborder Caniformia ("dog-like")

Daphoeninae is an extinct subfamily of dog-like, terrestrial carnivore, which belonged to the family Amphicyonidae of the suborder Caniformia.

However, the species Miacis cognitus is placed not in the stem-group but among the Caniformia, one of the two suborders of the crown-group Carnivora.

Other traits that separate Caniformia from Feliformia is that caniforms have longer jaws and have more teeth, with less specialized carnassial teeth.

Formerly classified as a separate biological suborder, Pinnipedia is now considered a subgroup within the suborder Caniformia of the order Carnivora.

The generic name means "twilight dog" in Greek, in references to its occurrence on the west coast of North America, and its affinity to the Caniformia.

Paradaphoenus transversus is an extinct species of Amphicyonidae ("bear dogs"), a family of terrestrial carnivores belonging to the suborder Caniformia, which inhabited North America.

The separation of Carnivora into the broad groups of feliforms and caniforms is widely accepted, as is the definition of Feliformia and Caniformia as suborders (sometimes superfamilies).

Some species of the genus Miacis are closely related to the order Carnivora, but only the species Miacis cognitus is a true carnivoran, as it is classified in the Caniformia.

Miacis cognitus (also known as Mackerel Wolf) is the only species of the diverse genus Miacis that is regarded as belonging to the crown-group Carnivora, within the Caniformia.

The divergence of carnivorans from other miacids, as well as the divergence of the two clades within Carnivora, Caniformia and Feliformia, is now inferred to have happened in the middle Eocene, about 42 million years ago (mya).

The mongoose and the meerkat bear a striking resemblance to many mustelids, but belong to a distinctly different suborder-the Feliformia (all those carnivores sharing more recent origins with the Felidae) and not the Caniformia (those sharing more recent origins with the Canidae).

Canoidea have more premolars and molars in an elongated skull.

The baculum is usually longer in Canoidea than in Feloidea.

Caniformia, or Canoidea (literally "dog-like"), is a suborder within the order Carnivora.

Most have highly developed senses, especially vision and hearing, and often a highly acute sense of smell in many species, such as in the Canoidea.

This is because Canoidea tend to range in the temperate and subarctic biomes, although Mustelidae and Procyonidae have a few tropical species.
