Sociality mating system and reproductive skew in marmots : evidence and hypotheses
TL;DR: It is suggested that yellow-bellied marmot females may benefit from retaining subordinate females and in return have to concede them reproduction, and that the optimal skew hypothesis may apply for both sets of species.

TL;DR: Mexico's Pleistocene terrestrial mammal record is comparable to the Recent one, but shows greater ordinal and family diversity, while the existence of a single Mexican Rancholabrean Faunal Province is incompatible with mammal record's makeup and distribution, which calls for a multiprovince scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tale of two genomes: contrasting patterns of phylogeographic structure in a widely distributed bat.
TL;DR: The authors found deeply divergent mitochondrial lineages restricted to different geographic regions, suggesting the potential for significant phylogeographic structure as well as adaptive differentiation among populations, and highlighted the importance of evaluating multiple genetic markers for a more complete understanding of population structure and history.

The evolution of arctic marine mammals
TL;DR: This review deals only with the evolutionary history of core Arctic marine mammals: polar bear, walrus, bearded seal, harp seal, ringed seal, bowhead whale, white whale, and narwhal.
Dna differentiation of swift, kit, and arctic foxes
TL;DR: In this paper, the extent of divergence among populations of two small relatively sedentary North American canids, the kit and swift fox (genus Vulpes), was evaluated using mtDNA restriction-site and sequence analyses.
