The Lost Large Mammals of Arabia
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Aim If successful, plans to restore the vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula (AP) as announced by the Middle East and Saudi Green Initiatives will see the greatest increase in vegetation cover since the beginning of the Holocene Humid Phase (HHP), roughly 9–10,000 years ago.

Bayesian Estimation of Speciation and Extinction from Incomplete Fossil Occurrence Data [PDF]
, 2017 The temporal dynamics of species diversity are shaped by variations in the rates of speciation and extinction, and there is a long history of inferring these rates using first and last appearances of taxa in the fossil record.

A new key locality for the Pliocene vertebrate record of Europe : the Camp dels Ninots maar (NE Spain) [PDF]
, 2012 A new Pliocene Konservat-Lagerstätte in north-eastern Spain is described here for the first time. It is referred to as Camp dels Ninots. The particular geological conditions of the site, which correspond to lacustrine sedimentation in a maar, made it ...

Features of reproduction and assisted reproduction in the white (Ceratotherium simum) and black (Diceros bicornis) rhinoceros [PDF]
, 2015 Despite the worldwide increase of rhinoceros calf numbers, the growth of the population of white and black rhinoceros is slowing down mainly due to anthropogenic causes, such as poaching and habitat loss.

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Due to the rapid decline of the Rhinoceros unicornis population during the 1960s, the Government of Nepal implemented several conservation measures, including translocation programs to various protected areas within the country. The program’s primary goal was to establish a founder population and lessen the risk of local extinction due to natural ...

Review of hyperdispersal in wildlife translocations
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.Abstract Species translocation is a common tool to reverse biodiversity loss, but it has a high failure rate. One factor that contributes to failure is postrelease hyperdispersal, which we define as the long‐distance movement of individuals resulting in their failure to contribute to population establishment.

Distribution, diversity and evolution of endogenous retroviruses in perissodactyl genomes [PDF]
, 2018 The evolution of mammalian genomes has been shaped by interactions with endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). In this study, we investigated the distribution and diversity of ERVs in the mammalian order Perissodactyla, with a view to understanding their impact

Reassessing the phylogeny of Quaternary Eurasian Rhinocerotidae
Journal of Quaternary Science, 2023 ABSTRACTThe phylogenetic relationships within Eurasian Quaternary rhinoceroses is reassessed for the first time by means of Bayesian analysis. The results show Stephanorhinus as a monophyletic clade, with Pliorhinus as a sister taxon and Coelodonta as their closest relative.
