Rise and fall of the Beringian steppe bison.

Beth Shapiro, Alexei J. Drummond, +24 authors Alan Cooper
Science
2004

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… (More)

Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex DNA from an extinct bison dated 17,000 years before the present.

Bruce M. Rothschild, Larry D. Martin, +6 authors David Brittain
Clinical infectious diseases : an official…
2001

In order to assess the presence of tuberculosis in Pleistocene bison and the origin of tuberculosis in North America, 2 separate DNA extractions were performed by 2 separate laboratories on samples… (More)

Model tests of gliding with different hindwing configurations in the four-winged dromaeosaurid Microraptor gui.

David E. Alexander, Enpu Gong, Larry D. Martin, David A. Burnham, Amanda R. Falk
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
2010

Fossils of the remarkable dromaeosaurid Microraptor gui and relatives clearly show well-developed flight feathers on the hind limbs as well as the front limbs. No modern vertebrate has hind limbs… (More)

Confuciusornis sanctus Compared to Archaeopteryx lithographica

Larry D. Martin, Zhonghe Zhou, Lixian Hou, Alan Feduccia
Naturwissenschaften

Phylogeography of lions (Panthera leo ssp.) reveals three distinct taxa and a late Pleistocene reduction in genetic diversity.

Ross Barnett, Beth Shapiro, +14 authors Alan Cooper
Molecular ecology
2009

Lions were the most widespread carnivores in the late Pleistocene, ranging from southern Africa to the southern USA, but little is known about the evolutionary relationships among these Pleistocene… (More)

Species-specific responses of Late Quaternary megafauna to climate and humans

Eline Deirdre Lorenzen, David Nogues-Bravo, +52 authors Eske Willerslev
Nature
2011

Despite decades of research, the roles of climate and humans in driving the dramatic extinctions of large-bodied mammals during the Late Quaternary period remain contentious. Here we use ancient DNA,… (More)

A beaked bird from the Jurassic of China

Lian-hai Hou, Zhonghe Zhou, Larry D. Martin, Alan Feduccia
Nature
1995

DISCOVERY of avian remains close to the age of Archaeopteryx in the Liaoning Province of northeastern China provides the earliest evidence for a beaked, edentulous bird. The associated wing skeleton… (More)

Evolution of the extinct Sabretooths and the American cheetah-like cat

Ross Barnett, Ian Barnes, +4 authors Alan Cooper
Current Biology
2005

Avascular necrosis: occurrence in diving cretaceous mosasaurs.

A study of vertebrae of extinct giant marine lizards showed the presence of avascular necrosis in two of the three most common genera of these mosasaurs, Platecarpus and Tylosaurus. This bone disease… (More)

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Lipid Virulence Factors Preserved in the 17,000-Year-Old Skeleton of an Extinct Bison, Bison antiquus

Oona Y. C. Lee, Houdini Ho Tin Wu, +7 authors Gurdyal S Besra
PloS one
2012

Tracing the evolution of ancient diseases depends on the availability and accessibility of suitable biomarkers in archaeological specimens. DNA is potentially information-rich but it depends on a… (More)
