Phylogeographic Patterns in Mitochondrial Dna of the Ostrich (struthio Camelus)

--We assayed restriction-site differences in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) within and among populations of the Ostrich (Struthio camelus) throughout much of its African distribution. Little genetic diversity was evident among samples drawn from localities throughout southern Africa (S.c. australis), while deep divisions in the mtDNA gene tree exist between representatives of the eastern (S.c. molyb...

Exotic Minerals or Ostrich Gastroliths? An Alternative Explanation for Some Evidence of Hominin ‘Non-Utilitarian Behavior’ at Wonderwerk Cave, South Africa

Identifying the onset of symbolic or non-utilitarian behavior remains one of the most important issues in the modern human origins debate, and as such, early evidence requires careful scrutiny. ‘Exotic minerals’ dating to >350 ka are one of several possible indications of hominin non-utilitarian behavior from Wonderwerk Cave, South Africa. Ecological data suggest an alternate hypothesis that th...

Morphological Description of the Developing Ostrich Embryo: a Tool for Embryonic Age Estimation

The ostrich (Struthio camelus), the largest living bird, is farmed intensively worldwide. However, despite the importance of understanding embryonic development in the ostrich for successful egg incubation practice, little is known about it. Using the chicken model for scaling is currently a common practice in estimating age in ostrich embryos. The aim of this study was to compare the embryonic...
