- 1 October 2005
The study of ancient DNA has the potential to make significant and unique contributions to ecology and evolution. However, the techniques used contain inherent problems, particularly with regards to… Expand
The Beaker Phenomenon and the Genomic Transformation of Northwest Europe
From around 2750 to 2500 bc, Bell Beaker pottery became widespread across western and central Europe, before it disappeared between 2200 and 1800 bc. The forces that propelled its expansion are a… Expand
Ancient proteins resolve the evolutionary history of Darwin’s South American ungulates
- F. Welker, M. Collins, +28 authors R. Macphee
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 4 June 2015
No large group of recently extinct placental mammals remains as evolutionarily cryptic as the approximately 280 genera grouped as ‘South American native ungulates’. To Charles Darwin, who first… Expand
Modern and ancient red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in Europe show an unusual lack of geographical and temporal structuring, and differing responses within the carnivores to historical climatic change
- A. G. Teacher, J. A. Thomas, I. Barnes
- Medicine, Biology
- BMC Evolutionary Biology
- 20 July 2011
BackgroundDespite phylogeographical patterns being well characterised in a large number of species, and generalised patterns emerging, the carnivores do not all appear to show consistent trends.… Expand
The phylogenetic position of the ‘giant deer’ Megaloceros giganteus
- A. Lister, C. J. Edwards, +5 authors I. Barnes
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 8 December 2005
The giant deer, or ‘Irish elk’, has featured extensively in debates on adaptation, sexual selection, and extinction. Its huge antlers—the largest of any deer species, living or extinct—formed a focus… Expand

- Biology, Medicine
- Nature communications
- 19 January 2016
The purported migrations that have formed the peoples of Britain have been the focus of generations of scholarly controversy. However, this has not benefited from direct analyses of ancient genomes.… Expand
Revealing the maternal demographic history of Panthera leo using ancient DNA and a spatially explicit genealogical analysis

- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Evolutionary Biology
- 2 April 2014
BackgroundUnderstanding the demographic history of a population is critical to conservation and to our broader understanding of evolutionary processes. For many tropical large mammals, however, this… Expand
