Journal ArticleDOI
Pattern and timing of diversification of Cetartiodactyla (Mammalia, Laurasiatheria), as revealed by a comprehensive analysis of mitochondrial genomes
Alexandre Hassanin,Frédéric Delsuc,Anne Ropiquet,C Hammer,Bettine Jansen van Vuuren,Conrad A. Matthee,Manuel Ruiz-García,François Catzeflis,Veronika Areskoug,Veronika Areskoug,Trung Thanh Nguyen,Arnaud Couloux +11 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the evolutionary history of cetartiodactyls was punctuated by four main phases of rapid radiation during the Cenozoic era, and shows that the high species diversity now observed in the families Bovidae and Cervidae accumulated mainly during the Late Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular systematics and biogeography of the Neotropical monkey genus, Alouatta.
Liliana Cortés-Ortiz,Eldredge Bermingham,Ciro Rico,Ernesto Rodríguez-Luna,Iracilda Sampaio,Manuel Ruiz-García +5 more
TL;DR: Molecular clock-based estimates of branching times indicated that contemporary howler monkey species originated in the late Miocene and Pliocene, not the Pleistocene, and the causes of Alouatta diversification were more difficult to pin down, although it is posit that the initial cis- and trans-Andean split in the genus was caused by theLate Miocene completion of the northern Andes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Identification of Evolutionarily Significant Units in the Amazon River Dolphin Inia sp. (Cetacea: Iniidae)
E Banguera-Hinestroza,Heiber Cárdenas,Manuel Ruiz-García,Miriam Marmontel,E. Gaitan,R Vázquez,F García-Vallejo +6 more
TL;DR: The results support the proposal to subdivide the Inia genus into at least two evolutionarily significant units: one confined to the Bolivian river basin and the other widely distributed across the Amazon and Orinoco basins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular population genetic analysis of the spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus) in the northern Andean area
TL;DR: The low heterozygosity and the population fragmentation could be explained by ancient events related to the bear colonization, with the arrival of humans beings in the Americas, and/or with the glacial maximum, 16.000-30.000 years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogenetics and phylogeography of all the Saimiri taxa (Cebidae, Primates) inferred from mt COI and COII gene sequences
TL;DR: The number of species within this genus is probably more limited than recently proposed by other authors because the Pleistocene was the fundamental epoch when the mitochondrial Saimiri diversification process occurred.
