Spatial Patterns of Global Peste Des Petits Ruminants Virus and Its Potential Risk Assessment for Various Wildlife Habitats. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study found that according to the analysis of PPR epidemic data from 2007 to 2024, the driving mechanism of key climatic and environmental factors such as temperature seasonality (standard deviation × 100) (Bio4), annual mean temperature (Bio1), isothermality (Bio3), mean diurnal range (Bio2), mean monthly precipitation in March (Prec3), and the ...

Elephantidae phylogeny: morphological versus molecular results [PDF]

Acta Theriologica, 1998
Traditionally, morphologically based phylogenetic relationships within the famili Elephantidae (mostly Loxodonta, Elephas, and Mammuthus) depicted Elephas and Mammuthus as closely related taxa with Loxodonta, as a sister-group to this clade. Until recently, molecular studies were unable to resolve relationships among the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus ...

Revision of the “Archidiskodon meridionalis ürömensis” Vörös, 1979 in the context of the mammoth evolution in Eurasia [PDF]

, 2009
A single tooth from the locality of Üröm-hegy (Hungary) was designated as the holotype specimen of “Archidiskodon meridionalis ürömensis” by Vörös (1979). The observed morphology of the tooth, with a minimum of 15 molar plates (most likely 17) led to the

Attempted DNA extraction from a Rancho La Brea Columbian mammoth (Mammuthus columbi): prospects for ancient DNA from asphalt deposits. [PDF]

, 2014
Fossil-bearing asphalt deposits are an understudied and potentially significant source of ancient DNA. Previous attempts to extract DNA from skeletons preserved at the Rancho La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles, California, have proven unsuccessful, but it ...

Were late Gomphotheres (Plio-Pleistocene) of the Siwaliks at more Stress as compared to early Gomphotheres (middle to late Miocene)?

Journal of Bioresource Management, 2020
Gomphotheres existed in the Siwaliks from the middle Miocene (14.2Ma) to the middle Pleistocene (0.8Ma) and became extinct later on. In this paper, we tried to discuss the reasons of such extinction of gomphotheres in the lower Pleistocene time span by ...

Palaeogenomes of Eurasian straight-tusked elephants challenge the current view of elephant evolution [PDF]

, 2017
The straight-tusked elephants Palaeoloxodon spp. were widespread across Eurasia during the Pleistocene. Phylogenetic reconstructions using morphological traits have grouped them with Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), and many paleontologists place ...

Molecular and morphological evidence on the phylogeny of the Elephantidae [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2000
The African and Asian elephants and the mammoth diverged ca. 4-6 million years ago and their phylogenetic relationship has been controversial. Morphological studies have suggested a mammoth Asian elephant relationship, while molecular studies have produced conflicting results.
