Large mammal remains from the early pleistocene site of Podere San Lorenzo (Perugia, Central Italy) [PDF]
, 2019 Most of the research on fossil mammals from Umbria (central Italy) has been carried out in the southwestern branch of the Tiber basin, due to its paleontological richness.

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.

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites in Captive Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus Linnaeus, 1758) in Central Nepal. [PDF]
Vet Med SciGastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) are determining factors in the health of Asian Elephants. The current coproscopic study recorded 95.2% prevalence rates with 19 different GIPs from these animals. The major risk factors could be overlapping niches with domestic and wild animals, irregular medication and the existence of critical stressors. .

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 ...

EVOLUTION OF MASTICATION IN THE ELEPHANTIDAE [PDF]
Evolution, 1972 The value of any individual morphological trait derives from its adaptive significance to the total biology of the animals in which it is found. The difficulty arises in determining the adaptive value of isolated characters. Paleontologists can partially overcome this difficulty by analyzing characters as components of functional complexes.

Proboscidean mitogenomics: chronology and mode of elephant evolution using mastodon as outgroup.
PLoS Biology, 2007 We have sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the extinct American mastodon (Mammut americanum) from an Alaskan fossil that is between 50,000 and 130,000 y old, extending the age range of genomic analyses by almost a complete glacial cycle.
