<i>Trachypithecus</i>, which currently contains 20 species divided into four groups, is the most speciose and geographically dispersed genus among Asian colobines. Despite several morphological molecular studies, however, its evolutionary history phylogeography remain poorly understood. Phayre's langur (<i>Trachypithecus phayrei</i>) one of widespread members genus, but details on actual distribution intraspecific taxonomy are limited controversial. Thus, to elucidate <i>Trachypithecus</i>...
Liang Bua, the type locality of Homo floresiensis, is a limestone cave located in western part Indonesian island Flores. The relatively continuous stratigraphic sequence site spans past ∼190 kyr and contains ∼275,000 taxonomically identifiable vertebrate skeletal elements, ∼80% which belong to murine rodent taxa (i.e., rats). Six described genera are present at Bua (Papagomys, Spelaeomys, Hooijeromys, Komodomys, Paulamys, Rattus), one which, newly recorded deposits, being previously known...
We describe a new genus and species of large-bodied murine from archaeological deposits at Liang Bua, limestone cave in western Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Among large assemblage remains, several mandibular elements recovered mostly Holocene sediments show distinct anatomy, with long robust jaw, massive proodont incisors, relatively small molars. These morphological features are unusual among murines but most similar to terrestrial carnivorous the Indo-Pacific, colloquially...
A review of the Southern Hemisphere Mesozoic tribosphenic mammal fossil record supports hypothesis that Tribosphenida arose in during Early Jurassic, around 50 million years prior to clade's reliably dated first appearance Northern Hemisphere. mammals are known from Australia, Madagascar, South America and Indian subcontinent, classified into three families: Bishopidae (fam. nov.), Ausktribosphenidae Henosferidae. These stem therians, considerable morphological evolution occurred within...
