Journal ArticleDOI
Stratigraphic, Sedimentological and Faunal Evidence for the Occurrence of Pre-Sangamonian Artefacts in Northern Yukon
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on geological, palaeontological and archaeological excavations and studies there which show that artefacts made by humans occur in deposits of Glacial Lake Old Crow laid down before Sangamonian time, probably during a phase of the Illinoian (=Riss) glaciation.

Comparative bite forces and canine bending strength in feline and sabretooth felids: implications for predatory ecology
TL;DR: Ass assessments of the estimated force output from the jaw adductor muscles, based on estimates of muscle cross-sectional areas and force vectors, along with canine bending strengths, in a variety of sabretooth felids, in comparison with extant felids show support for the suggestion that large sabretoothed felids hunted large prey with a canine shearing bite.
Journal ArticleDOI
A range-wide synthesis and timeline for phylogeographic events in the red fox ( Vulpes vulpes )
Verena E. Kutschera,Nicolas Lecomte,Axel Janke,Nuria Selva,Alexander A. Sokolov,Timm Haun,Katharina Steyer,Carsten Nowak,Frank Hailer +8 more
TL;DR: The phylogeographic history of red foxes is highly similar to that previously described for grey wolves and brown bears, indicating that climatic fluctuations and habitat changes since the Pleistocene had similar effects on these highly mobile generalist species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial DNA extracted from eastern North American wolves killed in the 1800s is not of gray wolf origin
TL;DR: Analysis of mitochondrial DNA from two historical samples of eastern North American wolves shows the absence of gray wolf mtDNA in these wolves, supporting previous findings of a North American evolution of the eastern timber wolf and red wolf independently of the gray wolf, which originated in Eurasia.
