Understanding proboscidean evolution: a formidable task
Abstract
A new approach to proboscidean evolution depicts taxa in three major radiations. This approach highlights general proboscidean evolutionary trends and origins more than the specific relationships among them. Data from more than 55 million years of evolution help to interpret how the integration of primitive and derived characters was essential to proboscidean success. Only two, or perhaps three, species remain of approximately 164 that lived in the past. Extinct forms were extremely cosmopolitan, occupying a variety of habitats, from deserts to mountain tops, on all continents except Australia and Antarctica. Challenges for future investigators include a better understanding of structure and function of infrasonic call production and perception, brain features, and reproductive biology in extinct proboscideans based on inferences from living forms.

Although the functional need for walking appears reduced in zoos due to provision of social and nutritional resources, ~60 million years of evolution has provided Proboscidea with anatomical and physiological specializations for long distance living.
“Although the functional need for walking appears to be reduced in zoos due to the provision of social and nutritional resources, ~60 million years of evolution has provided Proboscidea with a range of anatomical and physiological specializations for long distance living (Shoshani, 1998;Poole & Granli, 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
