Journal ArticleDOI
Early Penguin Fossils, Plus Mitochondrial Genomes, Calibrate Avian Evolution
Kerryn E. Slack,Craig M. Jones,Tatsuro Ando,G.L. Harrison,R. Ewan Fordyce,Ulfur Arnason,David Penny +6 more
TL;DR: A test for events around the Late Cretaceous is reported by describing the earliest penguin fossils, analyzing complete mitochondrial genomes from an albatross, a petrel, and a loon, and describing the gradual decline of pterosaurs at the same time modern birds radiate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Four New Avian Mitochondrial Genomes Help Get to Basic Evolutionary Questions in the Late Cretaceous
G.L. Harrison,Patricia A. McLenachan,Matthew J. Phillips,Kerry E. Slack,Alan Cooper,David Penny +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report four new avian mitochondrial genomes, which together with an improved method of phylogenetic analysis for vertebrate mt genomes give results for three questions in avian evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial genomes of a bandicoot and a brushtail possum confirm the monophyly of australidelphian marsupials.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analysed mitochondrial genome sequences of a bandicoot (Isoodon macrourus) and a brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) together with the previously available marsupial mitochondrial genomes, the Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) and the wallaroo (Macropus robustus).
Journal Article
Estimating the number of females in the founding population of New Zealand: Analysis of mtDNA variation
TL;DR: A three-step simulation carried out to estimate the number of Polynesian women who arrived in New Zealand is presented and mitochondrial DNA sequences from Eastern Polynesians are used to seek additional evidence on the origin of Maori people.
