Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 A robust minimum age tree shows post K–Pg Placentalia radiation, and subsequent extensive radiation connected to exponentially increased base substitution (mutation) rate including generation of Homo sapiens. This Neogene radiation may have been triggered by expansion of C4 grasses that decreased atmospheric CO2, resulting in global cooling and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Our results provide evidence of reduced genetic diversity in Asian pikas distributed across the Himalayas and the neighboring regions and indicate that recurrent gene flow is possibly a key mechanism for maintaining genetic diversity and adaptive potential in these pikas.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 12, Page 2593-2609, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim The mechanisms by which global biodiversity hotspots harbour and conserve high genetic and morphological diversity of endemic species remain unexplored. Relic species of ochotonids in the genus Ochotona are confined to alpine habitats and highly sensitive to environmental changes. We studied the genomic and ecological mechanisms underlying

Comparative morphology of premolar foramen in lagomorphs (Mammalia: Glires) and its functional and phylogenetic implications. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Lagomorphs (a group that consists of pikas, hares, rabbits and allies) are notable for their conservative morphology retained for most of their over 50 million years evolutionary history.

Novel Epidemiologic Features of High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza Virus A H5N1 2.3.3.4b Panzootic: A Review. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisAvian influenza is one of the most devastating avian diseases. The current high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) A virus H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b epizootic began in the 2020–2021 season, and has caused a panzootic, considered one of the worst ever reported.

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 612-638, May 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT The Middle Pleistocene archaeological record of the southern Levant has proven key to understanding human evolution and intercontinental faunal biogeography. Knowledge of archaeological sites of that period in the southern Levant is biased, with most Middle Pleistocene localities in the Mediterranean areas in the north, despite the mosaic of ...
