Arctoideais acladeof mostlycarnivorousmammalswhich include the extinctHemicyonidae(dog-bears), and the extantMusteloidea(weasels, raccoons, skunks, red pandas),Pinnipedia(seals, sea lions), andUrsidae(bears), found in all continents from theEocene,46million years ago,to the present.[2]The oldest group of the clade is the bears, as theirCMAHgene is still intact. The gene became non-functional in the common ancestor of the Mustelida (the musteloids and pinnipeds).[3]Arctoids arecaniforms,along with dogs (canids) and extinctbear dogs(Amphicyonidae). The earliest caniforms were superficially similar tomartens,which are tree-dwellingmustelids. Together withfeliforms,caniforms compose the orderCarnivora;sometimes Arctoidea can be considered a separate suborder from Caniformia and a sister taxon to Feliformia.

Systematics[edit]

Arctoidea was named by Flower (1869). It was reranked as the unranked clade Arctoidea by Hunt (2001), Hunt (2002) and Hunt (2002); it was reranked as the infraorder Arctoidea by Koretsky (2001), Zhai et al. (2003) and Labs Hochstein (2007). It was assigned toCarnivoraby Flower (1883), Barnes (1987), Barnes (1988), Carroll (1988), Barnes (1989), Barnes (1992), Hunt (2001), Hunt (2002) and Hunt (2002); and to Caniformia by Tedford (1976), Bryant (1991), Wang and Tedford (1992), Tedford et al. (1994), Koretsky (2001), Zhai et al. (2003), Wang et al. (2005), Owen (2006), Peigné et al. (2006) and Labs Hochstein (2007).[4][5][6]

Phylogeny[edit]
