Middle Pleistocene protein sequences from the rhinoceros genus Stephanorhinus and the phylogeny of extant and extinct Middle/Late Pleistocene Rhinocerotidae
BACKGROUND Ancient protein sequences are increasingly used to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships between extinct and extant mammalian taxa. Here, we apply these recent developments to Middle Pleistocene bone specimens of the rhinoceros genus Stephanorhinus. No biomolecular sequence data is currently available for this genus, leaving phylogenetic hypotheses on its evolutionary relationship...
متن کاملDiscovery of the skull of Stephanorhinus kirchbergensis (Jäger, 1839) above the Arctic Circle
The skull of the extinct rhinoceros Stephanorhinus kirchbergensis (Jäger, 1839) was discovered in the Chondon River valley (Arctic Yakutia, Russia) during the summer of 2014. This is the first find of Stephanorhinus above the Arctic Circle, expanding significantly the known geographic range of the genus. C dating and geologic evidence indicate that the skull dates to between 48,000 and 70,000 y...
متن کاملLate Pleistocene-Holocene paleobiogeography of the genus Apodemus in Central Europe
Wood mice of the genus Apodemus are an essential component of small mammal communities throughout Europe. Molecular data suggest the postglacial colonization of current ranges from south European glacial refugia, different in particular species. Yet, details on the course of colonization and Holocene history of particular species are not available, partly because of a lack of reliable criteria ...
متن کاملA blood typing of human skull fragments from the Pleistocene.
The Midland Skull, found in 1953 in western Texas, is possibly the oldest dated specimen of man yet discovered in the New M70rld. Wendorf, Krieger and Albritton in their report ( '55) on the find, assign it to a period definitely earlier than the occupation of that area by Folsom Man. At Lubbock, Texas, 150 miles to the north of Midland, the Folsom level has been established by radiocarbon dati...
متن کاملDefinition of the Middle–Upper Pleistocene boundary
The definition of a Middle–Upper Pleistocene Subseries boundary is discussed. This boundary is at present not formally defined, but has up till now been placed at the beginning of the Last Interglacial (Eemian, Mikulino, Sangamonian, etc.) or Marine Isotope Stage 5. Although it may seem attractive to define the boundary in an ocean sediment sequence, the inherent imprecision of most of such seq...
