====Proboscidean research====

* A study on the evolution of teeth of proboscideans from East Africa over the past 26 million years is published by Saarinen & Lister (2023), who find evidence of ratchet-like mode of evolution, with periods of rapid increase in hypsodonty and loph count (probably related to episodes of increase of aridity) alternating with longer periods of relative stasis rather than reversal of these traits.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Saarinen |first1=J. |last2=Lister |first2=A.

(2023), representing the first record of ''"Mammut"'' in the Upper Miocene of western Asia reported to date, and interpreted by the authors as supporting the existence of a [[Biology:Zoogeography|zoogeographic]] link enabling proboscidean interchanges between Europe and East Asia during the Late Miocene.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Konidaris |first1=G.

* A study on the morphology and feeding ecology of longirostrine gomphotheres from the Early–Middle Miocene of northern China is published by Li ''et al.'' (2023), who interpret ''[[Biology:Platybelodon|Platybelodon]]'' as the first known proboscidean that evolved both grazing behavior and trunk coiling and grasping functions, making it better adapted to the open environment than other longirostrine taxa, and interpret these adaptations as eventually resulting in the feeding function shifting from the mandibular symphysis and tusks to the trunk.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Li |first1=C. |last2=Deng |first2=T. |last3=Wang |first3=Y. |last4=Sun |first4=F. |last5=Wolff |first5=B. |last6=Jiangzuo |first6=Q. |last7=Ma |first7=J. |last8=Xing |first8=L. |last9=Fu |first9=J. |last10=Zhang |first10=J. |last11=Wang |first11=S.-Q. |year=2023 |title=Longer mandible or nose?

=====Cetacean research=====

* A study on the morphological diversity of lower jaws of cetaceans throughout their evolutionary history is published by Coombs ''et al.''

==General mammalian research==
* A study on the masticatory muscle features of extant and extinct mammals is published by Ercoli ''et al.''

* Martinez ''et al.'' (2023) find no evidence of a significant relation between the relative surface area of the maxilloturbinal and physiological traits such as metabolism and body temperature in extant mammals, and interpret their findings as challenging the hypothesis positing that respiratory turbinals reflect the thermal and metabolic physiology in extant and extinct tetrapods (especially in mammals).<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Martinez |first1=Q. |last2=Okrouhlík |first2=J. |last3=Šumbera |first3=R. |last4=Wright |first4=M. |last5=Araújo |first5=R. |last6=Braude |first6=S. |last7=Hildebrandt |first7=T.

* A study on the timing of the placental diversification, as inferred from genomic data, is published by Foley ''et al.'' (2023), who interpret their findings as indicative of diversification of placentals coinciding with the breakup of continental landmasses and rising sea levels in the Late Cretaceous, and a second pulse of diversification after the [[Earth:Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event|Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Foley |first1=N.

* Carlisle ''et al.'' (2023) estimate the timing of the origin of placental clades on the basis of the fossil record, arguing that Placentalia likely originated in the Late Cretaceous, but the majority of placental orders likely originated around or after the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, possibly during the [[Earth:Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum|Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Carlisle |first1=E. |last2=Janis |first2=C.

* Benevento ''et al.'' (2023) study changes in species richness of terrestrial North American mammals throughout the Cretaceous and the Cenozoic, and interpret their findings as indicating that mammals of all body sizes, rather than only large-bodied ones, diversified substantially during the Cretaceous-Paleogene transition, and that increases in the diversity of small-bodied species were similar to those of larger ones.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Benevento |first1=G.

* A study on the competition for prey between Miocene mammalian and reptilian predators at [[Earth:La Venta (Colombia)|La Venta]] (Colombia) is published by Wilson & Parker (2023), who interpret their findings as indicative of limited competition for resources among the carnivore guild compared to the most similar extant communities, a dominant role of crocodyliform predators in the studied community, and low predation pressure which might have resulted in overpopulation leading to feeding stress in the notoungulate species ''[[Biology:Pericotoxodon|Pericotoxodon platignathus]]''.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Wilson |first1=O.

* A study on biodiversity losses in large, eastern African mammalian herbivore fauna during the past 7.4 million years is published by Lauer ''et al.'' (2023), who report that large herbivore diversity losses occurring before the mid-Pleistocene were related to environmental changes and involved no significant threat to community ecological function, but the biodiversity losses that followed the interval of 1.9–1.7 million years ago threatened the assembly and function of large herbivore communities, which might have been related to the increase in the variability and aridity of eastern African climates.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Lauer |first1=D.

* Evidence from stable carbon, nitrogen and sulfur isotope ratios of bone collagen of reindeers, bovids and horses from the Middle and Upper Paleolithic site of Les Cottés ({{wipe|France}}), interpreted as indicative of greater behavioural plasticity of Late Pleistocene reindeers compared to other studied ungulates (including significant consumption of lichen, probable larger total range and greater variability among reindeers themselves), is presented by Britton ''et al.''
