Journal ArticleDOI
The monophyletic origin of sea lions and fur seals (Carnivora; Otariidae) in the Southern Hemisphere
TL;DR: A novel evolutionary and dispersal scenario of otariids is proposed based on this phylogenetic hypothesis, estimated divergence times, and fossil records, and according to the results, the center of origin of the southern otariid is hypothesized to be the eastern South Pacific along the west coast of South America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Pleistocene environmental changes on the distribution and community structure of the mammalian fauna of Mexico
TL;DR: The authors in this paper determined the distribution, composition, diversity, and community structure of late Pleistocene mammalian faunas, and analyzed extinction patterns and response of individual species to environmental changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic studies of pantherine cats (Felidae) based on multiple genes, with novel application of nuclear beta-fibrinogen intron 7 to carnivores.
TL;DR: An independent assessment of the evolutionary history of pantherine lineage is provided using two complete mitochondrial (mt) genes (ND2 and ND4) and the nuclear beta-fibrinogen intron 7 gene, whose utility in carnivoran phylogeny was first explored.
Land mammal ages and late cenozoic mammal dispersal events
TL;DR: The North American Provincial Land Mammal Ages (NAPMLM) as discussed by the authors is the prime chronologie standard for terrestrial deposits of the Cenozoic for terrestrial mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
North American Proboscideans: Mammoths: The state of Knowledge, 2003
TL;DR: A review of the literature providing radiocarbon-dated localities for mammoths provides a range of temporal and geographic distribution for the genus in North America as mentioned in this paper, including Alaska, Canada, United States, and Mexico.
