ORDER
ARTIODACTYLA Owen, 1848
Artiodactyla
and
Cetacea
are often considered a single Order
Cetartiodactyla
(
O’Leary & Gatesy 2008
;
O’Leary 2009
).
Spaulding
et al.
(2009)
supported the name ‘Artiodactyla’, but they included
Cetacea
in the Order
Artiodactyla
. However, most morphologists and paleontologists support a partition between the two orders (
Vaughan
et al.
2013
),
as Wilson & Reeder (2005)
that we followed here.
The
Artiodactyla
of
Korea
contains seven species distributed into in six genera and four families.
