Stegotetrabelodon(Proboscidea, Elephantidae) from the late Miocene of southern Italy

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2003
Abstract This paper describes new remains of Stegotetrabelodon from Southern Italy, the first evidence of this genus from Eurasia. The material consists of a mandible and a lower tusk fragment collected at Cava Brunia, Cessaniti (Vibo Valentia, Calabria), in late Tortonian Clypeaster-bearing coastal sands.

Fractal dimensions characterizing mammal teeth: a case study involving Elephantidae

Mammal Review, 2005
ABSTRACT1. Dental features frequently have provided data for producing and deducing mammal taxonomies and phylogeny, yet quantitative or statistical analyses for describing intricacies that characterize tooth form are wanting.2. A method for determining fractal dimensionsDthat characterize enamel ridges constituting occlusal surfaces for teeth in some ...

Analyse cladistique numérique et analyse de parcimonie;l'exemple des Elephantidae

Geobios, 1986
Resume La confrontation des differentes hypotheses publiees ces dernieres annees au sujet de l'origine des Elephantidae a ete l'occasion d'utiliser un programme d'analyse de parcimonie (le «PHYLIP package) et de discuter quelques points methodologiques inherents a l'aspect numerique des approches cladistiques informatisees.

Molecular phylogeny of Elephantidae. Extreme divergence of the extant forest African elephant

Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences - Series III - Sciences de la Vie, 1999
A phylogenetic study of the Elephantidae (Proboscidea, Mammalia) is based on the cytochrome b mitochondrial gene: 31 terminals, that is, all known sequences, one non-elephantid proboscidean, the extinct American mastodon, and four outgroups. The data set includes 11 new sequences with the first published sequence of the forest African elephant, L.

Multiplex amplification of the mammoth mitochondrial genome and the evolution of Elephantidae

Nature, 2005
In studying the genomes of extinct species, two principal limitations are typically the small quantities of endogenous ancient DNA and its degraded condition, even though products of up to 1,600 base pairs (bp) have been amplified in rare cases. Using small overlapping polymerase chain reaction products, longer stretches of sequences or even whole ...

Origin and radiation of the Elephantidae

1996
Abstract The emergence of the family Elephantidae in the late Miocene of Africa is thought to be correlated with a major adaptive shift in the masticatory apparatus. This shift was a transition from a combined grinding and shearing molar function with some lateral jaw movement, which is characteristic of gomphotheres, to a mostly ...
