Late Pleistocene Bison antiquus from Orcas Island, Washington, and the biogeographic importance of an early postglacial land mammal dispersal corridor from the mainland to Vancouver Island
TL;DR: A bison antiquus cranium and partial skeleton from Ayer Pond wetland on Orcas Island, San Juan Islands, Washington, date to 11,760-±-70 14 C-yr BP as discussed by the authors.
Molecular Systematics of Bats of the Genus Myotis (Vespertilionidae) Suggests Deterministic Ecomorphological Convergences
TL;DR: In this paper, the phylogenetic history of 13 American, 11 Palaearctic, and 6 other Myotis species, using sequence data obtained from nearly 2 kb of mitochondrial genes (cytochrome b and nd1).

Mammalian faunal dynamics in Late Pleistocene Alberta, Canada
TL;DR: In this paper, a temporal hiatus in the large suite of bone and wood dates from central Alberta indicates that no corridor existed during the full-glacial, from about 22'000 to 12'000 BP.

TL;DR: This article evaluated the physical and chemical properties of Xenarthran outer dentine to understand its potential use for investigating geochemical proxies and found that the mean hardness (H) of the inner dentine (3.8) is significantly less than that of enamel (5.7) and there is no difference in H between the two main groups, i.e., armadillos and pilosans (sloths).

Interspecific size regularities in tropical felid assemblages.
TL;DR: An earlier analysis of size relationships in Neotropical cats to felid assemblages in tropical Africa and Asia is extended, finding that there is a tendency for ratios to be larger on average than expected by random assembly, especially among the larger species.
