Until recently, almost all barbastelle populations inhabiting Asia, from Iran to Japan and Taiwan, were recognized as a single species, Barbastella darjelingensis. However, in recent years, it was shown that the taxonomic diversity within genus underestimated, B. darjelingensis sensu lato is highly variable, both morphologically genetically. Transcaucasian Central Asian already raised species level caspica. Populations eastern south-eastern Asia are still understudied likely encompass...
The Bering Land Bridge (BLB) last connected Eurasia and North America during the Late Pleistocene. Although BLB would have enabled transfers of terrestrial biota in both directions, it also acted as an ecological filter whose permeability varied considerably over time. Here we explore possible impacts this corridor on genetic diversity within, connectivity among, populations a once wide-ranging group, caballine horses (Equus spp.). Using panel 187 mitochondrial eight nuclear genomes...
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a fungal disease caused by Pseudogymnoascus destructans that devastating to Nearctic bat populations but tolerated Palearctic bats. Temperature factor known be important for growth and choice of hibernation. Here we investigated the effect temperature on pathogenic in wild across Palearctic. We modelled body surface bats with respect infection intensity severity were able relate this mean annual at site. Bats hibernated lower temperatures had less fewer skin...
Spatiotemporal distribution patterns are important infectious disease epidemiological characteristics that improve our understanding of wild animal population health. The skin infection caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans emerged as a panzootic in bats northern hemisphere. However, status over an extensive geographic area Russian Federation has remained understudied.We examined at limits bat hibernation Palearctic temperate zone and found with white-nose syndrome (WNS) on...
The variation of quantitative characters the first lower molar was analysed in nine species Far-Eastern voles Alexandromys from Russian fauna.Canonical analysis revealed that main differences were associated with oeconomus-like fusion, and clearly differentiates A. oeconomus, mongolicus gromovi other species.The results UPGMA cluster based on average Procrustes distances did not agree recent molecular studies.Discriminant coordinates 19 landmarks showed percentage correct classifications...
The current paper first time describes a small Beremendia from the late Pleistocene deposits in Koridornaya Cave locality (Russian Far East), which associated with extinct minor. is attempt to use comparative analytical method evaluate possible case of redeposition fossil remains this shrew. In case, 'comparative' part corresponds 'faunistic approach' Jelle Reumer, and 'analytical' his extended 'morphological approach. ' analytic uses morphospace size estimation (MSE) based on principal...
A new species of the Mimomys is described from Far East Russia (the Medvezhyi Klyk cave, Sikhote-Alin).Layer 7 cave (1.08-1.18m) was dated to be 13 790-14 200 BP.Mimomys chandolensis sp.nov.was found in a deeper layer (2.63-2.68m) and therefore assuming there no redeposition remains that accumulation proceeded gradually, molar specimen we 30-50 kyr old.Due extent preservation observed structure does not seem likely have been redeposited.Our hypothesis due warm wet climate region, vole, which...
For the first time in south of Russian Far East Late Pleistocene cave deposits, fragments giant flying squirrel genus Petaurista were discovered. tetyukhensis n. sp. is described based on a fragment upper jaw with two teeth and five isolated from locations. The main differences between new species living forms as well other fossil are absence vertical groove lingual wall protocone hypocone M2, anterior cross loph P4-M3, mesoconids lower, result which hypoflexid not w-shaped. It suggested...
Late Pleistocene-Holocene faunal complexes of small mammals (Lipotyphla, Rodentia, and Lagomorpha) from the Russian Far East are described for first time. We used material Medvezhyi Klyk Cave, located in Southern Sikhote-Alin. The numerous fossil findings cave display a remarkable taxonomic diversity high degree preservation. AMS 14C dating determination deposits age. Holocene sediments were divided into three periods: Early, Middle, Late. Pleistocene age was not exactly determined, but...
Abstract The contrast between the tiger’s ( Panthera tigris ) 2-3 My age and extant tigers’ coalescence approximately 110,000 years ago suggests an ancient demographic bottleneck. Here we collected over 60 extinct specimens across mainland Asia generated whole genome sequences from a 10,600-year-old Russian Far East (RFE) specimen (RUSA21, 8ξ coverage), 14 South China tigers (0.1-12ξ), three Caspian (4-8ξ), plus 17 new mitogenomes. RUSA21 clustered within modern Northeast Asian phylogroups...
A small Myotis species belonging to the siligorensis group was found in four caves Yunnan province, South China. Twenty specimens of this bat were compared with other East Asian species. Statistical and physical analysis sample demonstrates that, despite their similarity M. siligorensis, have characteristics baculum morphology cranial proportions suggesting that they represent a distinct
Currently, no lemming species are known in the area near Medvezhiy Klyk Cave.The southern boundary of wood (Myopus schisticolor (Lilljeborg)) range Primorski Kray lies 300 km to north cave (Kostenko, 2000).The nearest habitat Amur brown is Oblast at headwaters Zeya River.In addition these two species, there more Lemmus Far East with similar teeth structure: Siberian (L.sibiricus (Kerr)), found on Wrangel Island, and North American (L.trimucronatus (Richardson)), widely spread from right bank...
The current paper describes material from Medvezhyi Klyk Cave Late Pleistocene–Holocene deposits that represented mostly by isolated teeth. morphology and size variation of the first lower teeth (n = 542) were studied. There are Alexandromysfortis, A. cf. maximowiczii, oeconomus, mongolicus determined in material. We could not determine taxa due to uncertainty a spatial species ranges during Pleistocene Holocene, broad variety m1 anteroconid shape among medium-sized voles, supposed presence...
Abstract Background Palearctic bats host a diversity of lyssaviruses, though not the classical rabies virus (RABV). As surveillance for bat over area covering Central and Eastern Europe Siberian regions Russia has been irregular, we lack data on geographic seasonal patterns infection. Results To address this, undertook serological testing, using non-lethally sampled blood, 1027 25 species in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovenia between 2014 2018. The indirect enzyme-linked...
The current paper offers a protocol for the analytic assessment of intraspecific variability dental morphology in shrews. Our approach blends temporal aspect together with comparative morphological analysis terms unified morphogenetic concept based on 'activator-inhibitor cascades model' and 'decreasing heritability model'. We used material from upper Pleistocene Holocene fossiliferous deposits Koridornaya Sukhaya caves Russian Far East analysed first molars specimens that were similar size...
The article reports the finds of amphibians from four upper layers sediments (nine conditional horizons) in Medvezhiy Klyk Cave. material is represented by isolated bones totaling 4,618 specimens. Each bone was determined separately. Eight species were found: Salamandrella schrenckii, Bombina orientalis, Bufo sachalinensis, Strauchbufo raddei, Dryophytes japonicus, Pelophylax nigromaculatus, Rana amurensis, and dybowskii. R. dybowskii B. sachalinensis are basis batrachofaunas. They present...
