Dna Sequenced for the First Time Systematic

SYSTEMATIC RELATIONSHIPS OF FIVE NEWLY SEQUENCED CERVID SPECIES. Cervid phylogenetics has been puzzling researchers for over 150 years. Molecular systematics has provided new inputs, but many cervid species lack molecular data as they are difficult to access in the wild. DNA SEQUENCED FOR THE FIRST TIME by extracting ancient DNA from museum specimens. Philippine Brown Peruvian Dwarf Bornean Yellow Deer Brocket Muntjac ( Rusa marianna ) ( Mazama chunyi ) ( Muntiacus atherodes ) Cervini Odocoileini Muntiacini Mérida Brocket Northern Pudu (Mazama bricenii ) holotype ( Pudu mephistophiles ) RESULTS The new sequences were used to enrich existing mitochondrial DNA alignments, yielding the most taxonomically complete data set for cervids to date. Phylogenetic analyses provided new information on relationships within deer and potential consequences for future systematics.

Systematic Relationships of Five Newly Sequenced Cervid Species
Systematic relationships of five newly sequenced cervid species Nicola S. Heckeberg1,2,3, Dirk Erpenbeck1,4, Gert Wörheide1,2,4 and Gertrud E.

In recent decades, molecular systematics has provided new input for both the support and revision of the previous results from comparative anatomy but has led to only partial consensus. Despite all of the efforts to reach taxon-wide species sampling over the last two decades, a number of cervid species still lack molecular data because they are difficult to access in the wild. By extracting ancient DNA from museum specimens, in this study, we obtained partial mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences for Mazama bricenii, Mazama chunyi, Muntiacus atherodes, Pudu mephistophiles, and Rusa marianna, including three holotypes. These new sequences were used to enrich the existing mitochondrial DNA alignments and yielded the most taxonomically complete data set for cervids to date. Phylogenetic analyses provide new insights into the evolutionary history of these five species. However, systematic uncertainties within Muntiacus persist and resolving phylogenetic relationships within Pudu and Mazama remain challenging.

Förster1 and Andreas Wilting1 Abstract Background: The members of the genus Muntiacus are of particular interest to evolutionary biologists due to their extreme chromosomal rearrangements and the ongoing discussions about the number of living species. Red muntjacs have the largest distribution of all muntjacs and were formerly considered as one species. Karyotype differences led to the provisional split between the Southern Red Muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak) and the Northern Red Muntjac (M. vaginalis), but uncertainties remain as, so far, no phylogenetic study has been conducted. Here, we analysed whole mitochondrial genomes of 59 archival and 16 contemporaneous samples to resolve uncertainties about their taxonomy and used red muntjacs as model for understanding the evolutionary history of other species in Southeast Asia.

GROVES Department of Prehistory and Anthropology, the Australian National University, Canberra and PETER GRUBB Department of Zoology, University of Ghana (present address: c/o Mammal Section, British Museum (Natural History), London) With 4 text-figures and 4 plates ABSTRACT The hypothesis, originated by Kohlbrugge (1895) and supported by Lyon (1911), Van Bemmel (1952) and Hill (1960), that there are two taxonomically distinct muntjac (genus Muntiacus Rafines- que, 1815) on Borneo is supported by studies of abundant skin and skull material. The two are wide- ly sympatric, so must rank as distinct species. One represents the widespread M. muntjak (Zimmer- mann, 1780) of southeast and south Asia, while the other is endemic. The type material of Cervulus pleiharicus Kohlbrugge, 1895 consisted of a skin and frontlet with antlers. As the skin has been lost, the frontlet is designated as lectotype. It represents M. muntjak, as does the type of M. rubidus Lyon, 1911, so that the endemic species of Borneo is without a name. It is hereby designated Muntiacus atherodes. The two species are diagnosed, described fully, and discussed. INTRODUCTION Valid species may go unrecognised once their names are reduced to synonymy. The case we describe below involves both the recognition of a con- troversial species and the resolution of an unfortunate nomenclatural confusion concerning it. The case is all the more exceptional in that it refers to species of deer — among the larger and so supposedly better known groups of mammals.

Niche Partitioning of 5 Sympatric Bornean Ungulates in Response To
Niche partitioning of 5 sympatric Bornean ungulates in response to spatiotemporal variation in fruit availability and resulting implications for predator-prey interactions BY RACHEL SELWYN A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology & Biodiversity School of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science Victoria University of Wellington July 2020 0 Author’s watercolour depiction of a Sunda clouded leopard. 1 ABSTRACT Borneo’s rainforests are experiencing some of the fastest deforestation rates worldwide and are home to increasingly vulnerable species, most of which remain poorly understood. Bornean rainforests exhibit dramatic fluctuations in fruit and seed availability during mast-fruiting events which can exert considerable influence on frugivore ecology. Comprehensive spatiotemporal assessments of habitat use, resource partitioning, and responses to fruit availability in mast-fruiting rainforests are lacking for most species, including ungulates. The distribution and habitat use of an apex predator, the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi), may be largely shaped by the availability of these ungulates. Yet, factors driving the spatial ecology of this elusive felid remain uncertain. I aimed to quantify spatiotemporal habitat use dynamics of these species and consequently inform effective conservation planning. Specifically, I quantified the effects of human activity, forest type, elevation, and mast-induced fluctuations in resources on the habitat use of lesser mousedeer (Tragulus kanchil), greater mousedeer (T. napu), Bornean yellow muntjacs (Muntiacus atherodes), red muntjacs (M. muntjak), and bearded pigs (Sus barbatus) in Gunung Palung National Park, West Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. I applied data from an extensive camera trapping study (n = 42,610 trap nights) to a modified single-season occupancy model to evaluate habitat use over space and time.
