2D Geometric morphometrics of the first lower molar of the genus Meles Brisson,...
Rosas, Antonio; Soler-Fajardo, Ana; Garcia-Tabernero, Antonio; Huguet, Rosa; Vallverdú, Josep; Fidalgo, Darío; Galli, Emilia; Piñero, PedroBadgers belong to the genus Meles Brisson, 1762, which comprise four extant species (M. anakuma Temminck, 1844, M. leucurus (Hodgson, 1847), M. canescens Blanford, 1875, and M. meles (Linnaeus, 1758)). The genus is included in the subfamily Melinae Bonaparte, 1838, a polyphyletic group of Eurasian mustelids whose evolutionary relationships need further clarification. The evolutive relationships of the genus are...
Earliest Pleistocene European hippos: a review
Fidalgo, Darío; Galli, Emilia; Madurell-Malapeira, Joan; Rosas, AntonioRESUMO: A dispersão de hipopótamos de África para a Europa no Pleistocénico inferior tem sido amplamente discutida. A maioria dos autores propõe uma única entrada de formas semelhantes à espécie africana Hippopotamus gorgops, denominada Hip. antiquus ao entrar na Europa. No entanto, outros autores propõem uma primeira entrada de formas semelhantes ao táxon africano Hip. kaisensis, chamado Hip. antiquus ao entra...
Geometric morphometrics applied to molars of Pleistocene Bos and Bison of Europe
Galli, Emilia; Fidalgo, Darío; García-Martínez, Daniel; Rosas, AntonioABSTRACT: Bos and bison Bison (Bovinae, Mammalia) are closely related large mammals abundant in Pleistocene fossil assemblages. The determination of osteological elements of these bovines is traditionally based on morphological differences, but new molecular studies suggest the synonymy of both genera. Following recent advances in morphological classifying methods we implemented a two-dimensional geometric morp...
