Fifty thousand years of Arctic vegetation and megafaunal diet

Eske Willerslev, +55 more
- 06 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: The authors' analyses indicate that both graminoids and forbs would have featured in megafaunal diets, and question the predominance of a Late Quaternary graminoid-dominated Arctic mammoth steppe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complete mitochondrial genome sequences of two extinct moas clarify ratite evolution.

TL;DR: This first molecular view of the break-up of Gondwana provides a new temporal framework for speciation events within other Gondwanan biota and can be used to evaluate competing biogeographical hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel high-resolution characterization of ancient DNA reveals C > U-type base modification events as the sole cause of post mortem miscoding lesions

TL;DR: In contrast to previous aDNA studies, SPEX provides strong quantitative evidence that C > U-type base modifications are the sole cause of authentic endogenous damage-derived miscoding lesions, which could allow ancient specimens to be genotyped with unprecedented accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence and differential host‐specificity of two avian blood parasite genera in the Australo‐Papuan region

TL;DR: The host distribution and host‐specificity of these parasites in birds from two relatively understudied and isolated locations are examined and suggest that lineages of Plasmodium are more likely to form evolutionarily–stable associations with novel hosts.
