Abstract Near the end of Pleistocene epoch, populations woolly mammoth ( Mammuthus primigenius ) were distributed across parts three continents, from western Europe and northern Asia through Beringia to Atlantic seaboard North America. Nonetheless, questions about connectivity temporal continuity species remain unanswered. We use a combination targeted enrichment high-throughput sequencing assemble interpret data set 143 mitochondrial genomes, sampled fossils recovered their Holarctic range....
Westbury et al. reveal the genome-level evolutionary relationships between extinct cave and extant spotted hyena.
The Upper Rhine Valley (SW Germany, Europe) has delivered 20,000 Late Pleistocene megafaunal remains found at gravel pit sites in the past decades and only 0.1% carnivore including a nearly complete lion skeleton of small male Panthera leo spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810) also parts two more grown-up to even older males from different localities, such as additional isolated bones. Less than 1% bone material belongs adolescent animals; cub is completely absent. was compared with many caves few...
