Were Pleistocene hippopotamuses exposed to climate-driven body size changes?
Paul Mazza,Adele Bertini +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that Mediterranean hippopotamuses, and perhaps European ones as well, reduced their size from the ‘Mid-Pleistocene Revolution’ to the Late Pleistocene, where glacial/interglacial cycling was dominated by a 100-ka periodicity, with more extended glacial phases alternating with shorter interglacial phases.

First Asian record of Panthera (Leo) fossilis (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) in the Early Pleistocene of Western Siberia, Russia
TL;DR: A lion-like pantherine felid is described as Panthera (Leo) fossilis from the late Early Pleistocene sediments of the Kuznetsk Basin (Western Siberia, Russia), which considerably extends the current notion of the eastward expansion of the most ancient lions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the distribution and taxonomy of Myotis keenii and Myotis evotis in British Columbia and the adjacent United States
TL;DR: The results suggest morphological convergence of the two taxa in Washington and that a number of individuals from western Washington were morphometrically intermediate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity of the major histocompatibility complex class II in Alaskan caribou herds
TL;DR: It is shown that there is diversity at three of the four loci studied, and it is clear that although some of the herds have overlapping ranges, they are still different for their MHC class II alleles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assumptions and Protocol of the Taxonomic Identification of Faunal Remains in Zooarchaeology: a North American Perspective
TL;DR: Reporting of the identification protocol followed, including the reference skeletons, illustrated guides, and anatomical traits used, is strongly recommended so that what are believed to be taxonomically diagnostic traits can be tested and either used, revised, or discarded by others.
