Phylogeographical Analysis of mtDNA Data Indicates Postglacial Expansion from Multiple Glacial Refugia in Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
TL;DR: The results suggest that the last glacial maximum substantially shaped the phylogeographical structure of this large mammalian North American species that will be affected by climatic change and will be essential for future conservation planning in woodland caribou.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteology and ecology of Megantereon cultridens SE311 (Mammalia; Felidae; Machairodontinae), a sabrecat from the Late Pliocene – Early Pleistocene of Senéze, France
TL;DR: This monograph provides a complete overview of the anatomy of Megantereon cultridens SE311, and compares it with extant large felids, and the few other derived sabrecats from which ample fossil material is known, although most frequently representing several specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revision of widespread red squirrels (genus: Tamiasciurus) highlights the complexity of speciation within North American forests.
Andrew G. Hope,Jason L. Malaney,Kayce C. Bell,Fernando Salazar-Miralles,Andreas S. Chavez,Brian R. Barber,Joseph A. Cook +6 more
TL;DR: North American red squirrels exemplify a forest obligate genus whose species are monitored as indicators of forest ecosystem condition, yet phylogenetic relationships reflecting evolutionary history within this genus remain tentative, and competing systematic and niche-based divergence hypotheses are tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inferring palaeoecology in extinct tremarctine bears (Carnivora, Ursidae) using geometric morphometrics
TL;DR: The results reveal different ecomorphological specializations in extinct tremarctines during the Plio-Pleistocene of South America, which strongly supports that bears are one of the most ecologically and morphologically adaptable members of the large carnivore guild.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using biogeographical history to inform conservation: the case of Preble's meadow jumping mouse.
Jason L. Malaney,Joseph A. Cook +1 more
TL;DR: This analysis highlights a premise in conservation biology that biogeographical history should play a central role in establishing conservation priorities and leads to a radically different view of geographical structure within jumping mice and indicates the need to re‐evaluate their taxonomy and management.
