The Preliminary Analysis of Cave Lion Cubs Panthera spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810) from the Permafrost of Siberia

A preliminary description is presented of the well-preserved frozen mummies of two cubs of the extinct cave lion Panthera spelaea (finds of 2017–2018, Semyuelyakh River, Yakutia, eastern Siberia,…

A study of a frozen mummy of a wild horse from the Holocene of Yakutia, East Siberia, Russia

The late geological age of the Yukagir horse is an indication that this species survived the Pleistocene–Holocene crisis and lived through the Mid-Holocene in northern Eastern Siberia.

The paper discusses the Białowieża bison (Bison bonasus bonasus) as a museum exhibit in the 18th – early 20th centuries, basing on the analysis of archival documents, mainly from St. Petersburg. One…

Genomic variability in the extinct steppe bison (Bison priscus) compared to the European bison (Bison bonasus)

Investigation of historic EB samples could help resolve phylogenetic relationships, the role of the recent bottleneck, and provide information for conservation management to reduce the incidence of disease in the population and maintain its evolutionary potential.

Bison Evolution and Zoogeography in North America During the Pleistocene

    The Quarterly Review of Biology
  • 1970
Neither the "orthogenetic" nor the "wave" theory adequately accounts for the evolution of bison in North America; rather, the fossils can only be explained by a combination of invasions from Siberia and evolutionary changes that occurred in the new environment.

A combination of ancient DNA, 14C dating, hydrogen and oxygen isotopes, and collagen sequencing is used to explore the colonization history of one of the few other large mammals to have successfully migrated into the Americas at this time: the North American elk (Cervus elaphus canadensis).

Preliminary analyses of the frozen mummies of mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), bison (Bison priscus) and horse (Equus sp.) from the Yana-Indigirka Lowland, Yakutia, Russia.

Whereas the woolly mammoth and the Pleistocene horse were represented by partial frozen bodies, the steppe bison body was recovered in an absolutely complete state and some of the tissues mummified.
