The phenomenon of evolutionary convergence is a fascinating process in which distantly related species independently acquire similar characteristics in response to similar selective pressures. Ant- and termite-eating mammals are among the most famous examples of morphological convergence. Indeed, this particular lifestyle evolved in five distinct lineages of mammals: the aardvark (Tubulidentata), the aardwolf (Carnivora), the anteaters (Pilosa), the giant armadillo (Cingulata), and the pangolins (Pholidota). To better undestand the evolution of these organisms, several approaches were developed in this thesis. First, I present an original strategy to characterize the precise diet of myrmecophagous mammals taking advantage of metagenomic seq...
