The '''Canidae''' ({{IPAEng|ˈkænədiː}}, ′kanə′dē) family is a part of the order [[Carnivora]] within the [[mammal]]s (Class Mammalia). Members of the family are called '''canids''' and include [[dog]]s, [[wolf|wolves]], [[fox]]es, [[coyote]]s, [[dingo]]es, [[jackal]]s, and [[African Wild Dog]]s. The Canidae family is divided into the "true dogs" (or '''canines''') of the tribe Canini and the "foxes" of the tribe Vulpini. The two species of the basal Caninae are more primitive and don't fit into either tribe. Any member of this family can be referred to generally as a canid.
'''''Reunion''''' is a 1989 [[album]] by [[Gary Burton]], reuniting him with guitarist [[Pat Metheny]] for their first recordings in almost 13 years. Both have been called prodigies; Burton when he joined [[George Shearing]]'s group in 1963 at age 19. Burton met the 18-year old Metheny at the Wichita Jazz Festival in 1973, when Metheny was 18 years old. After welcoming him as a teaching colleague at the Berklee College of music, he hired the guitarist into the newly-expanded Gary Burton Quintet in 1974. <ref>Liner notes from GRP Records GR-9598</ref>


==Classification and relationship==
Metheny left Burton's group in 1977 to form his own quartet with [[Lyle Mays]]. The two had virtually no contact with each other until, in early 1988, the organizers of the Montreal Jazz Festival contacted Burton. They told him that Metheny was the festival host, and invited Burton to join him onstage. "My apprehension was immediately erased when I saw how easy it was for us to play together, even after 12 years," said Burton. This led to their collaboration on ''Reunion.''
Note that the subdivision of Canidae into "foxes" and "true dogs" may not be in accordance with the actual relations, and that the [[alpha taxonomy|taxonomic]] classification of several canines is disputed. Recent [[DNA]] analysis has shown, however, that Canini (dogs) and Vulpini (foxes) are valid [[cladistics|clades]]. (See phylogeny below). Molecular data implies a North American origin of living Canidae and an African origin of wolf-like canines (''Canis'', ''Cuon'', and ''Lycaon'').<ref name=Lindblad-toh2005>{{cite journal | author = Lindblad-toh, K. | coauthors = Wade, C.M.; Mikkelsen, T.S.; Karlsson, E.K.; Jaffe, D.B.; Kamal, M.; Clamp, M.; Chang, J.L.; Kulbokas Iii, E.J.; Zody, M.C.; Others, | year = 2005 | title = Genome sequence, comparative analysis and haplotype structure of the domestic dog | journal = Nature | volume = 438 | issue = 7069 | pages = 803–819 | url = http://ccr.cancer.gov/resources/cop/nature04338.pdf | accessdate = 2008-04-27 | doi = 10.1038/nature04338}}</ref>


Currently the [[dog|domestic dog]] is listed as a [[Subspecies of Canis lupus|subspecies of ''Canis lupus'']], ''C. l. familiaris'', with the [[Dingo]] (also considered a domestic dog) listed as ''C. l. dingo'', provisionally a separate subspecies from ''C. l. familiaris''; the [[Red Wolf]], [[Eastern Canadian Wolf]], and [[Indian Wolf]] are recognized as [[subspecies]] as well.<ref name=msw3/>
==Track listing==
On the vinyl LP:


The domestic dog is listed by some authorities{{Who|date=May 2008}} as ''Canis familiaris'' and others (including the [[Smithsonian Institution]]{{Fact|date=May 2008}} and the [[American Society of Mammalogists]]{{Fact|date=May 2008}}) as a subspecies of the [[Gray Wolf]] (i.e., ''Canis lupus familiaris''); the [[Red Wolf]], [[Eastern Canadian Wolf]], and [[Indian Wolf]] may or may not be separate [[species]]; and the [[Dingo]] has been in the past variously classified as ''Canis dingo'', ''Canis familiaris dingo'' and ''Canis lupus familiaris dingo''.

==Evolution==
===Eocene epoch===


<!-- The earliest known [[fossil]] of a canid is a dates back 55.4[[Ma (unit)|Ma]]<ref>http://paleodb.org/cgi-bin/bridge.pl?action=checkTaxonInfo&taxon_no=57534&is_real_user=1</ref> The two e. Eocene collection records of "canids" in the Paleobiology Database are both miacids; looks like a data entry error -->The Canidae family evolved from [[miacids]] about 40 million years ago in the late Eocene to early Oligocene. The Canidae family is subdivided into three subfamilies, each of which diverged during the Eocene: [[Hesperocyoninae]] (~39.74-15 Mya), [[Borophaginae]] (~36-2 Mya), and the [[Caninae]] lineage that led to present-day canids, including wolves, foxes, coyotes, jackals, and domestic dogs.

* [[Peter Erskine]] &mdash; [[drums]] and [[percussion]]


===Oligocene epoch===
; Technical
The earliest branch of the Canidae was the Hesperocyoninae lineage, which included the coyote-sized ''[[Mesocyon]]'' of the Oligocene (38-24 Mya). These early canids probably evolved for fast pursuit of prey in a grassland habitat, and resembled modern [[civet]]s in appearance. Hesperocyonine dogs became extinct except for the ''Nothocyon'' and ''Leptocyon'' branches. These branches lead to the borophagine and canine radiations.<ref>Martin, L.D. 1989. Fossil history of the terrestrial carnivora. Pages 536 - 568 in J.L. Gittleman, editor. Carnivore Behavior, Ecology, and Evolution, Vol. 1. Comstock Publishing Associates: Ithaca.</ref>


===Miocene epoch===
* [[Gary Burton]] - producer
Around 9-10 Mya during the [[Late Miocene]], ''[[Canis]]'', ''[[Urocyon]]'', and ''[[Vulpes]]'' genera expand from southwestern [[North America]]. This is the point where canine radiation begins. The success of the these canines is the development of lower [[carnassial]]s that are capable of both [[mastication]] and shearing. Around 8 Mya, [[Bering land bridge|Berengia]] offers the canines a way to enter [[Eurasia]].

===Pliocene epoch===
==Charts==
{{Cleanup-section|This section does not mention canidae evolution, it just lists a random selection of species. Please add content to justify its inclusion in this section.|date=February 2008}}


====Early Pliocene====
; Album
During the [[Pliocene]] around (4-5 Mya) ''[[Canis lepophagus]]'' appears in North America. This dog is small with some being coyote-like. Others are wolf-like in characteristics. It is theorized that ''Canis latrans'' (coyote) descended from ''Canis lepophagus''.<ref>Nowak, R.M. 1979. North American Quaternary Canis. Monograph of the Museum of Natural History, University of Kansas 6:1 - 154.</ref>
Around 1.5 to 1.8 Mya, a variety of wolves are now in Europe. Also, the North American wolf line appears with ''[[Canis edwardii]]'' as clearly identifiable as a wolf. ''[[Canis rufus]]'', a red wolf canine appears and possibly a direct descendent of Canis edwardii.


====Middle Pliocene====
[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]] (North America)
Around 0.8 Mya ''[[Canis ambrusteri]]'', emerges in North America. A large wolf, it is found all over the continent. It is thought that this species went to South America where it becomes the ancestor of the ''[[Canis dirus]]'' or Dire wolf.

====Late Pliocene====
==External links and sources==
At 0.3 Mya ''[[Gray wolf|Canis lupus]]'' (Gray wolf) has fully developed and has spread throughout Europe and northern Asia. Berengia offers a way to North America. <ref>Nowak, R. 1992. Wolves: The great travelers of evolution. International Wolf 2(4):3 - 7.</ref> At around 100,000 years ago, the Dire wolf, some of the largest members of the dog family, appears from southern Canada to South America and coast to coast. The Dire wolf shares its habitat with the Gray wolf. Around 8000 years ago the Dire wolf becomes extinct.

==Characteristics==
[[Category:1989 albums]]
Wild canids are found on every continent except Antarctica, and inhabit a wide range of different habitats, including [[deserts]], [[mountains]], [[forests]], and [[grassland]]. They vary in size from the [[Fennec Fox]] at 24 cm in length, to the [[Gray Wolf]], which may be up to 200 cm long, and can weigh up to 80 kg.
[[Category:Gary Burton albums]]

[[Category:GRP Records albums]]
With the sole living exception of the [[Bush Dog]], canids have relatively long legs and lithe bodies, adapted for chasing prey. All canids are [[digitigrade]], meaning that they walk on their toes. They possess bushy tails, non-retractile claws, and a [[dewclaw]] on the front feet. They possess a [[baculum]], which together with a cavernous body helps to create a copulatory tie during mating, locking the animals together for up to an hour. Young canids are born blind, with their eyes opening a few weeks after birth. <ref>{{cite book |author=Macdonald, D.|year=1984 |title= The Encyclopedia of Mammals|publisher= Facts on File|location=New York|pages= 57|isbn= 0-87196-871-1}}</ref>

Many species live and hunt in [[packs]], and have complex social lives. They are generally highly adaptable, and there may be considerable variation in habits even within a single species.

===Dentition===

Most canids have 42 [[tooth|teeth]], with a [[dentition|dental formula]] of: {{dentition2|3.1.4.2|3.1.4.3}} As in other members of the [[carnivora]], the upper fourth [[premolar]] and lower first [[Molar (tooth)|molar]] are adapted as [[carnassial]] teeth for slicing flesh. The molar teeth are strong in most species, allowing the animals to crack open bone to reach the [[bone marrow|marrow]]. The deciduous or baby teeth formula in canids is 3 1 3; molars are completely absent.

Genera and species

See text

The Canidae (/ˈkænədiː/, ′kanə′dē) family is a part of the order Carnivora within the mammals (Class Mammalia). Members of the family are called canids and include dogs, wolves, foxes, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, and African Wild Dogs. The Canidae family is divided into the "true dogs" (or canines) of the tribe Canini and the "foxes" of the tribe Vulpini. The two species of the basal Caninae are more primitive and don't fit into either tribe. Any member of this family can be referred to generally as a canid.

Classification and relationship

Note that the subdivision of Canidae into "foxes" and "true dogs" may not be in accordance with the actual relations, and that the taxonomic classification of several canines is disputed. Recent DNA analysis has shown, however, that Canini (dogs) and Vulpini (foxes) are valid clades. (See phylogeny below). Molecular data implies a North American origin of living Canidae and an African origin of wolf-like canines (Canis, Cuon, and Lycaon).[2]

Currently the domestic dog is listed as a subspecies of Canis lupus, C. l. familiaris, with the Dingo (also considered a domestic dog) listed as C. l. dingo, provisionally a separate subspecies from C. l. familiaris; the Red Wolf, Eastern Canadian Wolf, and Indian Wolf are recognized as subspecies as well.[1]

The domestic dog is listed by some authorities[who?] as Canis familiaris and others (including the Smithsonian Institution[citation needed] and the American Society of Mammalogists[citation needed]) as a subspecies of the Gray Wolf (i.e., Canis lupus familiaris); the Red Wolf, Eastern Canadian Wolf, and Indian Wolf may or may not be separate species; and the Dingo has been in the past variously classified as Canis dingo, Canis familiaris dingo and Canis lupus familiaris dingo.

Evolution

Eocene epoch

The Canidae family evolved from miacids about 40 million years ago in the late Eocene to early Oligocene. The Canidae family is subdivided into three subfamilies, each of which diverged during the Eocene: Hesperocyoninae (~39.74-15 Mya), Borophaginae (~36-2 Mya), and the Caninae lineage that led to present-day canids, including wolves, foxes, coyotes, jackals, and domestic dogs.

Each of the groups showed an increase in body mass with time before their specialised hypercarnivorous diet made them prone to extinction.[3]: Fig. 1 

Oligocene epoch

The earliest branch of the Canidae was the Hesperocyoninae lineage, which included the coyote-sized Mesocyon of the Oligocene (38-24 Mya). These early canids probably evolved for fast pursuit of prey in a grassland habitat, and resembled modern civets in appearance. Hesperocyonine dogs became extinct except for the Nothocyon and Leptocyon branches. These branches lead to the borophagine and canine radiations.[4]

Miocene epoch

Around 9-10 Mya during the Late Miocene, Canis, Urocyon, and Vulpes genera expand from southwestern North America. This is the point where canine radiation begins. The success of the these canines is the development of lower carnassials that are capable of both mastication and shearing. Around 8 Mya, Berengia offers the canines a way to enter Eurasia.

Pliocene epoch

Early Pliocene

During the Pliocene around (4-5 Mya) Canis lepophagus appears in North America. This dog is small with some being coyote-like. Others are wolf-like in characteristics. It is theorized that Canis latrans (coyote) descended from Canis lepophagus.[5] Around 1.5 to 1.8 Mya, a variety of wolves are now in Europe. Also, the North American wolf line appears with Canis edwardii as clearly identifiable as a wolf. Canis rufus, a red wolf canine appears and possibly a direct descendent of Canis edwardii.

Middle Pliocene

Around 0.8 Mya Canis ambrusteri, emerges in North America. A large wolf, it is found all over the continent. It is thought that this species went to South America where it becomes the ancestor of the Canis dirus or Dire wolf.

Late Pliocene

At 0.3 Mya Canis lupus (Gray wolf) has fully developed and has spread throughout Europe and northern Asia. Berengia offers a way to North America. [6] At around 100,000 years ago, the Dire wolf, some of the largest members of the dog family, appears from southern Canada to South America and coast to coast. The Dire wolf shares its habitat with the Gray wolf. Around 8000 years ago the Dire wolf becomes extinct.

Characteristics

Wild canids are found on every continent except Antarctica, and inhabit a wide range of different habitats, including deserts, mountains, forests, and grassland. They vary in size from the Fennec Fox at 24 cm in length, to the Gray Wolf, which may be up to 200 cm long, and can weigh up to 80 kg.

With the sole living exception of the Bush Dog, canids have relatively long legs and lithe bodies, adapted for chasing prey. All canids are digitigrade, meaning that they walk on their toes. They possess bushy tails, non-retractile claws, and a dewclaw on the front feet. They possess a baculum, which together with a cavernous body helps to create a copulatory tie during mating, locking the animals together for up to an hour. Young canids are born blind, with their eyes opening a few weeks after birth. [7]

Many species live and hunt in packs, and have complex social lives. They are generally highly adaptable, and there may be considerable variation in habits even within a single species.

Dentition

Most canids have 42 teeth, with a dental formula of:

Dentition
3.1.4.2
3.1.4.3

As in other members of the carnivora, the upper fourth premolar and lower first molar are adapted as carnassial teeth for slicing flesh. The molar teeth are strong in most species, allowing the animals to crack open bone to reach the marrow. The deciduous or baby teeth formula in canids is 3 1 3; molars are completely absent.
