Comparative Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal Tract in Eutheria I: Taxonomy, Biogeography and Food: Afrotheria, Xenarthra and Euarchontoglires
Abstract
This volume of the series Handbook of Zoology deals with the anatomy of the gastrointestinal digestive tract – stomach, small intestine, caecum and colon – in all eutherian orders and suborders. It presents compilations of anatomical studies, as well as an extensive list of references, which makes widely dispersed literature accessible. Introductory sections to orders and suborders give notice to biology, taxonomy, biogeography and food of the respective taxon. It is a characteristic of this book that different sections of the post-oesophageal tract are discussed separately from each other. Informations on form and function of organs of digestion in eutherians are discussed under comparative-anatomical aspects. The variability and diversity of anatomical structures represents the basis of functional differentiations.

Forestomachs occur in large mammalian herbivores of various taxa and in muroid rodents.
“Forestomachs do not only occur in large mammalian herbivores of various taxa [59], but also in muroid rodents [34, 69, 70].”

The presence of a forestomach is not evenly distributed across taxa but represents a hallmark of specific taxa, which explains why it was not significant in PGLS.
“Whereas in GLS, having a forestomach was a significant factor for a longer small intestine, this was not significant in PGLS, most likely because the presence of a forestomach is not evenly distributed across taxa but represents a hallmark of specific taxa [34, 59].”

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.
