Correction for Lister, The impact of Quaternary Ice Ages on mammalian evolution
TL;DR: Preliminary analysis suggests that faunal turnover, including an important element of speciation, was elevated in the Quaternary compared with the Neogene, at least in some biomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The original status of wolves in eastern north america
TL;DR: The small wolf C. rufus (C. edwardii) of the early Irvingtonian seems unrelated to the modern red wolf (c. russelli) but gave rise to a lineage including the larger C. armbrusteri and culminating in C. dirus of the late Rancholabrean as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The extent of extinctions of mammals on islands
TL;DR: Many of the world's oceanic and oceanic-like islands possessed endemic mammal faunas before they were colonized by humans, and this reduction in the natural biodiversity brought about the disappearance of several unique biological types that apparently never existed on the continents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deciphering North American Pleistocene Extinctions
TL;DR: The debate over the cause of North American Pleistocene extinctions may be further from resolution than it has ever been in its 200-year history and is certainly more heated than ever before.

Historical and ecological determinants of genetic structure in arctic canids
Lindsey Carmichael,J. Krizan,J. A. Nagy,Eva Fuglei,M. Dumond,D. Johnson,Alasdair M. Veitch,Dominique Berteaux,Curtis Strobeck +8 more
TL;DR: Results presented here suggest that, through its influence on sea ice, vegetation, prey dynamics and distribution, continued arctic climate change may have effects as dramatic as those of the Pleistocene on the genetic structure of arctic canid species.
