  • On Genetic Differentiation Between Domestic Pigs and Tibetan
    CORRESPONDENCE Evolution of Tibetan wild boars a Sulawesi warty pig To the Editor: (S. celebensis) The analysis presented by Li et al.1 in ~2 their report of the genome sequence of Java warty pig the Tibetan wild boar provides interesting (S. verrucosus) insights into the genetic architecture of Tibetan wild boar high-altitude adaptation in this species. (S. scrofa) However, despite the large volume of novel data, we found shortcomings in several parts 4.1 (5.3–3.5) North Chinese wild boar 2.5 (4–1.3) (S. scrofa) of the study, suggesting that some specific 14 (28–8)* findings presented by Li et al. result from Sourth Chinese wild boar overinterpretation of the data. In addition, (S. scrofa) 1.2 (2–0.8) several of their conclusions contradict those ? 2–5 6.9 (21.9–3.1) reported in previous analyses .

  • New Fossil Suid Specimens from the Terminal Miocene Hominoid Locality of Shuitangba, Zhaotong, Yunnan Province, China
    Journal of Mammalian Evolution (2019) 26:557–571 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10914-018-9431-3 ORIGINAL PAPER New Fossil Suid Specimens from the Terminal Miocene Hominoid Locality of Shuitangba, Zhaotong, Yunnan Province, China Sukuan Hou1,2,3 & Denise F. Su2 & Jay Kelley4 & Tao Deng1,3 & Nina G. Jablonski5 & Lawrence J. Flynn6 & Xueping Ji7,8 & Jiayong Cao9 & Xin Yang 10 Published online: 14 March 2018 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018, corrected publication April/2018 Abstract Fossil suid specimens recovered from the latest Miocene site of Shuitangba, Zhaotong Basin, Yunnan Province, provide new information on the classification and relationship of Chinese Miocene Suinae. Most of the recovered specimens are referred to a relatively advanced and large species of Suinae, Propotamochoerus hyotherioides, based on dental dimensions and morphology. Detailed morphological comparisons were made between the Shuitangba Pr. hyotherioides and other Asian Miocene suines. From these comparisons, we suggest that Pr. hyotherioides from Shuitangba and northern China may be relatively derived compared to the specimens from Lufeng and Yuanmou, southern China and that Pr. hyotherioides and Pr. wui represent separate branches of the genus in China. Furthermore, Microstonyx differs from Pr. hyotherioides in p4/P4 and m3/M3 characters. Molarochoerus is suggested to represent a relatively derived taxon due to the uniquely molarized upper and lower fourth premolars. Miochoerus youngi is suggested to have a closer relationship to Sus and Microstonyx than to Propotamochoerus due to its small size and p4 morphology. Hippopotamodon ultimus, Potamochoerus chinhsienense, Dicoryphochoerus medius, and D. binxianensis exhibit complex morphologies that variously resemble Propotamochoerus, Microstonyx,andSus and are suggested to be possible transitional forms between Propotamochoerus, Microstonyx,andSus.

    ARTICLE There are amendments to this paper https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-10017-2 OPEN Genomic analysis on pygmy hog reveals extensive interbreeding during wild boar expansion Langqing Liu 1, Mirte Bosse 1, Hendrik-Jan Megens1, Laurent A.F. Frantz2,3, Young-Lim Lee1, Evan K. Irving-Pease 3, Goutam Narayan 4,5, Martien A.M. Groenen 1 & Ole Madsen1 Wild boar (Sus scrofa) drastically colonized mainland Eurasia and North Africa, most likely from East Asia during the Plio-Pleistocene (2–1Mya). In recent studies, based on genome- 1234567890():,; wide information, it was hypothesized that wild boar did not replace the species it encoun- tered, but instead exchanged genetic materials with them through admixture. The highly endangered pygmy hog (Porcula salvania) is the only suid species in mainland Eurasia known to have outlived this expansion, and therefore provides a unique opportunity to test this hybridization hypothesis. Analyses of pygmy hog genomes indicate that despite large phy- logenetic divergence (~2 My), wild boar and pygmy hog did indeed interbreed as the former expanded across Eurasia. In addition, we also assess the taxonomic placement of the donor of another introgression, pertaining to a now-extinct species with a deep phylogenetic place- ment in the Suidae tree. Altogether, our analyses indicate that the rapid spread of wild boar was facilitated by inter-specific/inter-generic admixtures. 1 Animal Breeding and Genomics, Wageningen University & Research, 6708PB Wageningen, the Netherlands. 2 School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London, E1 4NS, London, United Kingdom. 3 Palaeogenomics and Bioarcheology Research Network, Research Laboratory for Archeology and History of Art, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3QY, United Kingdom.

    Hammer et al. BMC Res Notes (2018) 11:243 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-018-3340-7 BMC Research Notes RESEARCH NOTE Open Access Bronze Age meat industry: ancient mitochondrial DNA analyses of pig bones from the prehistoric salt mines of Hallstatt (Austria) Sabine E. Hammer1*, Barbara Tautscher2, Erich Pucher3, Kerstin Kowarik4, Hans Reschreiter4, Anton Kern4 and Elisabeth Haring2,5 Abstract Objective: In the Bronze Age Hallstatt metropolis (‘Salzkammergut’ region, Upper Austria), salt richness enabled the preservation of pork meat to sustain people’s livelihood suggesting an organized meat production industry on a yearly basis of hundreds of pigs. To pattern the geographic and temporal framework of the early management of pig populations in the surrounding areas of Hallstatt, we want to gain insights into the phylogeographic network based on DNA sequence variation among modern pigs, wild boars and prehistoric (likely) domestic pigs. Results: In this pilot study, we successfully adapted ancient DNA extraction and sequencing approaches for the analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequence variation in ten prehistoric porcine teeth specimens. Minimum-spanning network analyses revealed unique mitochondrial control region DNA haplotypes ranging within the variation of mod- ern domestic pig and wild boar lineages and even shared haplotypes between prehistoric and modern domestic pigs and wild boars were observed. Keywords: Hallstatt, Bronze Age, Sus scrofa, Ancient DNA, Mitochondrial DNA, Phylogeographic network Introduction of 1000 m above sea level (MASL), the prehistoric min- Te UNESCO World Heritage Hallstatt-Dachstein/Salz- ing community was nonetheless able to meet the exacting kammergut, located in the eastern Austrian alps, repre- demands of the large scale production activity.
