Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple and Ancient Origins of the Domestic Dog

TL;DR: Sequences from both dogs and wolves showed considerable diversity and supported the hypothesis that wolves were the ancestors of dogs, suggesting that dogs originated more than 100,000 years before the present.
Journal Article

The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey

Gerry Gilmore, +274 more
- 01 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey has begun and will obtain high quality spectroscopy of some 100000 Milky Way stars, in the field and in open clusters, down to magnitude 19, systematically.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tidal Marshes: A Global Perspective on the Evolution and Conservation of Their Terrestrial Vertebrates

TL;DR: Tidal marshes and their endemic fauna face broad threats from a variety of human-caused environmental changes, and future research should focus on global inventories, intercontinental comparative work, and investigation to determine why almost all presently described endemic taxa appear to be found in North America.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic relationships, evolution, and genetic diversity of the domestic dog

TL;DR: The results do not support a New World domestication of dogs nor a close association of the Xoloitzcuintli with other hair-less breeds of dogs, but mitochondrial DNA analysis suggests a more ancient origin of dogs than has been indicated by the fossil record.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection and accuracy rates of dogs trained to find scats of San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica)

TL;DR: Evaluated detection and accuracy rates of dogs trained to find scats of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes and conducted controlled discrimination experiments to see if trained dogs could distinguish between scats from kit and red foxes.
