The evolution of the guild of larger terrestrial carnivores during the Plio-Pleistocene in Africa
TL;DR: The pattern of evolution in the carnivore guild has broad correlations with the patterns of climatic change and the evolution of potential prey species as mentioned in this paper, and the pattern has been found to have a strong correlation with the pattern of evolutionary change in the genus Canidae.

Phylogeography and pleistocene evolution in the North American black bear.
Stephen Wooding,Ryk Ward +1 more
TL;DR: Congruence between the pattern of diversity observed in black bears and patterns of forest refuge formation during the Pleistocene supports earlier speculation that Pleistsocene forest fragmentations underlie a common pattern in the phylogeography of North American forest taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of New World Mammals: Universality of the Latitudinal Gradients of Species and Bauplans
TL;DR: The latitudinal gradient of species richness in mammals of the New World has been studied for over 30 years as discussed by the authors, and there has been no consensus as to what causes the inverse relationship between species richness and latitude.

TL;DR: No single wolf population is more closely related to dogs, supporting the hypothesis that dogs were derived from an extinct wolf population, and extensive admixture between dogs and wolves is found, with up to 25% of Eurasian wolf genomes showing signs of dog ancestry.

NORTH AMERICAN BLACK BEAR mtDNA PHYLOGEOGRAPHY: IMPLICATIONS FOR MORPHOLOGY AND THE HAIDA GWAII GLACIAL REFUGIUM CONTROVERSY.
TL;DR: It is found that the Haida Gwaii bear are indistinguishable from coastal bear of British Columbia and Vancouver Island, but are highly distinct from continental bear, consistent with recent suggestions that a glacial refugium existed on the now submerged continental shelf.
