    The origin and evolution of the woolly mammoth (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-11-03
    Description: The mammoth lineage provides an example of rapid adaptive evolution in response to the changing environments of the Pleistocene. Using well-dated samples from across the mammoth's Eurasian range, we document geographical and chronological variation in adaptive morphology. This work illustrates an incremental (if mosaic) evolutionary sequence but also reveals a complex interplay of local morphological innovation, migration, and extirpation in the origin and evolution of a mammalian species. In particular, northeastern Siberia is identified as an area of successive allopatric innovations that apparently spread to Europe, where they contributed to a complex pattern of stasis, replacement, and transformation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lister, A M -- Sher, A V -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Nov 2;294(5544):1094-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, University College London, London WC1E 6BT, UK. a.lister@ucl.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11691991" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Rise and fall of the Beringian steppe bison (2004)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-11-30
    Description: The widespread extinctions of large mammals at the end of the Pleistocene epoch have often been attributed to the depredations of humans; here we present genetic evidence that questions this assumption. We used ancient DNA and Bayesian techniques to reconstruct a detailed genetic history of bison throughout the late Pleistocene and Holocene epochs. Our analyses depict a large diverse population living throughout Beringia until around 37,000 years before the present, when the population's genetic diversity began to decline dramatically. The timing of this decline correlates with environmental changes associated with the onset of the last glacial cycle, whereas archaeological evidence does not support the presence of large populations of humans in Eastern Beringia until more than 15,000 years later.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shapiro, Beth -- Drummond, Alexei J -- Rambaut, Andrew -- Wilson, Michael C -- Matheus, Paul E -- Sher, Andrei V -- Pybus, Oliver G -- Gilbert, M Thomas P -- Barnes, Ian -- Binladen, Jonas -- Willerslev, Eske -- Hansen, Anders J -- Baryshnikov, Gennady F -- Burns, James A -- Davydov, Sergei -- Driver, Jonathan C -- Froese, Duane G -- Harington, C Richard -- Keddie, Grant -- Kosintsev, Pavel -- Kunz, Michael L -- Martin, Larry D -- Stephenson, Robert O -- Storer, John -- Tedford, Richard -- Zimov, Sergei -- Cooper, Alan -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Nov 26;306(5701):1561-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Henry Wellcome Ancient Biomolecules Centre, Oxford University, South Parks Road, Oxford OX13PS, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15567864" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Evolution and dispersal of mammoths across the Northern Hemisphere (2015)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-11-14
    Description: Mammoths provide a detailed example of species origins and dispersal, but understanding has been impeded by taxonomic confusion, especially in North America. The Columbian mammoth Mammuthus columbi was thought to have evolved in North America from a more primitive Eurasian immigrant. The earliest American mammoths (1.5 million years ago), however, resemble the advanced Eurasian M. trogontherii that crossed the Bering land bridge around that time, giving rise directly to M. columbi. Woolly mammoth M. primigenius later evolved in Beringia and spread into Europe and North America, leading to a diversity of morphologies as it encountered endemic M. trogontherii and M. columbi, respectively. In North America, this included intermediates ("M. jeffersonii"), suggesting introgression of M. primigenius with M. columbi. The lineage illustrates the dynamic interplay of local adaptation, dispersal, and gene flow in the evolution of a widely distributed species complex.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lister, A M -- Sher, A V -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Nov 13;350(6262):805-9. doi: 10.1126/science.aac5660.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Earth Sciences, Natural History Museum, London SW7 5BD, UK. a.lister@nhm.ac.uk. ; Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Moscow 119071, Russia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26564853" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The pattern and process of mammoth evolution in Eurasia (2005)
    Elsevier
    In:  Quaternary International, 126-128 . pp. 49-64.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-11-04
    Description: Mammoth evolution in Eurasia represents one of the best-studied examples of evolutionary pattern and process in the terrestrial fossil record. A pervasive belief in the gradual transformation of chronospecies in Europe is giving way to a more complex model incorporating geographical variation across the whole of northern Eurasia. This in turn casts doubt on biostratigraphic deductions which assume gradual transformation of molar morphology, simultaneous across the species’ range. The earliest European elephantids, Mammuthus rumanus, occur in the interval 3.5–2.5 Ma, and are distinctly more primitive than the better-known M. meridionalis. The species ‘M. gromovi’, identified in the interval c. 2.6–2.2 Ma, appears to be a junior synonym of M. meridionalis. M. meridionalis dispersed widely and, in the interval 2.0–1.5 Ma, gave rise to M. trogontherii in eastern Asia, probably in China, spreading to NE Siberia by 1.2 Ma. Between that date and c. 600 ka, flow of genes and/or individuals westwards produced an interaction with European M. meridionalis which led to a network of populations in time and space and the eventual supplanting of that species by M. trogontherii. This conclusion is based principally on the earlier appearance of M. trogontherii morphology in eastern Asia, supplemented by complex morphological patterns in Europe during the time of transition. Subsequently, M. trogontherii did not undergo a gradual transformation into M. primigenius (woolly mammoth) in Europe, but remained in stasis (apart from size reduction) until 200 ka. In NE Siberia, however, M. trogontherii began a transformation into primitive M. primigenius morphology as early as 700 ka, and that species continued its evolution in the same region through the Middle and Late Pleistocene. The incursion of M. primigenius into Europe appears to have occurred soon after 200 ka, and its ‘replacement’ of M. trogontherii there probably included some introgression from the latter species.
