Canids (Caninae) from the Past of Venezuela

A review of paleontological material that was published previously, along with newly reported ancient specimens, reveals a distinct historical diversity for the same region of Venezuela and suggests a more complex evolutionary history than previously thought for South American canids.

Extinct Beringian wolf morphotype found in the continental U.S. has implications for wolf migration and evolution

The presence of mid‐continental Beringian morphotypes adds important data for untangling the history of immigration and evolution of Canis in North America.

Quaternary records of the dire wolf, Canis dirus, in North and South America

The dire wolf was an important large, late Pleistocene predator in North and South America, well adapted to preying on megaherbivores. Geographically widespread, Canis dirus is reported from 136…

First records of Canis dirus and Smilodon fatalis from the late Pleistocene Tule Springs local fauna, upper Las Vegas Wash, Nevada

Postcranial remains assigned to the species Canis dirus (dire wolf) and Smilodon fatalis (sabre-toothed cat) represent the first confirmed records of these species from the TSLF, as well as the first documentation of Canisdirus in Nevada and the only known occurrence of Smilodons in southern Nevada.

THE ORIGINAL STATUS OF WOLVES IN EASTERN NORTH AMERICA

Abstract Assessment was made of all available cranial specimens of wild Canis dating since the Blancan and prior to AD 1918 in the region east of the Great Plains and south of the Prairie Peninsula,…

Dire Wolf, Canis dirus (Mammalia; Carnivora; Canidae), from the Late Pleistocene (Rancholabrean) of East-Central Sonora, Mexico

Abstract We describe the first occurrence of the extinct dire wolf, Canis dirus, from the late Pleistocene deposits of east-central Sonora, Mexico. Remains include a partially complete left mandible…

Beringia: Intercontinental exchange and diversification of high latitude mammals and their parasites during the Pliocene and Quaternary

Refined views of the sequence and timing of biotic expansion, geographic colonization and impact of episodic climate change have been developed for Beringia, which was a determining factor in the structure and biogeography of terrestrial faunas across the Nearctic and Neotropical regions during the Pliocene and Quaternary.

NEW BODY MASS ESTIMATES FOR CANIS DIRUS, THE EXTINCT PLEISTOCENE DIRE WOLF

Over 200,000 specimens of the extinct Pleistocene dire wolf, Canis dirus, have been recovered from the Rancho La Brea Tar Pits in southern California (Merriam, 1912; Marcus, 1960; Nowak, 1979; Kurten…
