  • Evolution and Extinction of the Giant Rhinoceros Elasmotherium Sibiricum Sheds Light on Late Quaternary Megafaunal Extinctions
    ARTICLES https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-018-0722-0 Evolution and extinction of the giant rhinoceros Elasmotherium sibiricum sheds light on late Quaternary megafaunal extinctions Pavel Kosintsev1, Kieren J. Mitchell2, Thibaut Devièse3, Johannes van der Plicht4,5, Margot Kuitems4,5, Ekaterina Petrova6, Alexei Tikhonov6, Thomas Higham3, Daniel Comeskey3, Chris Turney7,8, Alan Cooper 2, Thijs van Kolfschoten5, Anthony J. Stuart9 and Adrian M. Lister 10* Understanding extinction events requires an unbiased record of the chronology and ecology of victims and survivors. The rhi- noceros Elasmotherium sibiricum, known as the ‘Siberian unicorn’, was believed to have gone extinct around 200,000 years ago—well before the late Quaternary megafaunal extinction event. However, no absolute dating, genetic analysis or quantita- tive ecological assessment of this species has been undertaken. Here, we show, by accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating of 23 individuals, including cross-validation by compound-specific analysis, that E. sibiricum survived in Eastern Europe and Central Asia until at least 39,000 years ago, corroborating a wave of megafaunal turnover before the Last Glacial Maximum in Eurasia, in addition to the better-known late-glacial event. Stable isotope data indicate a dry steppe niche for E. sibiricum and, together with morphology, a highly specialized diet that probably contributed to its extinction. We further demonstrate, with DNA sequencing data, a very deep phylogenetic split between the subfamilies Elasmotheriinae and Rhinocerotinae that includes all the living rhinoceroses, settling a debate based on fossil evidence and confirming that the two lineages had diverged by the Eocene. As the last surviving member of the Elasmotheriinae, the demise of the ‘Siberian unicorn’ marked the extinction of this subfamily.

  • Unit-V Evolution of Horse
    UNIT-V EVOLUTION OF HORSE Horses (Equus) are odd-toed hooped mammals belong- ing to the order Perissodactyla. Horse evolution is a straight line evolution and is a suitable example for orthogenesis. It started from Eocene period. The entire evolutionary sequence of horse history is recorded in North America. " Place of Origin The place of origin of horse is North America. From here, horses migrated to Europe and Asia. By the end of Pleis- tocene period, horses became extinct in the motherland (N. America). The horses now living in N. America are the de- scendants of migrants from other continents. Time of Origin The horse evolution started some 58 million years ago, m the beginning of Eocene period of Coenozoic era. The modem horse Equus originated in Pleistocene period about 2 million years ago. Evolutionary Trends The fossils of horses that lived in different periods, show that the body parts exhibited progressive changes towards a particular direction. These directional changes are called evo- lutionary trends. The evolutionary trends of horse evolution are summarized below: 1. Increase in size. 2. Increase in the length of limbs. 3. Increase in the length of the neck. 4. Increase in the length of preorbital region (face). 5. Increase in the length and size of III digit. 6. Increase in the size and complexity of brain. 7. Molarization of premolars. Olfactory bulb Hyracotherium Mesohippus Equus Fig.: Evolution of brain in horse. 8. Development of high crowns in premolars and molars. 9. Change of plantigrade gait to unguligrade gait. 10. Formation of diastema. 11. Disappearance of lateral digits.

  • Skeleton of the Oligocene (30 Million-Year-Old) Horse, Mesohippus, Is a Featured Exhibit at the New North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame in Medora
    Skeleton of the Oligocene (30 million-year-old) horse, Mesohippus, is a featured exhibit at the new North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame in Medora By John W. Hoganson Developers of the recently opened North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame contacted me about having a fossil exhibit in the new Hall in Medora. Of course, what would be more appropriate than an exhibit interpreting the evolution of the horse? Most people are under the false impression that horses did not inhabit North America until they were introduced by the Spaniards during the early days of conquest. But horses are indigenous to North America. Fossil remains of the earliest horse, referred to as Hyracotherium (or sometimes Eohippus), have been recovered from early Eocene (about 50 million years old) rocks in North America. In fact, they were some of the most abundant mammals that lived during that time. The fossil record of horses in North Dakota extends back to the Oligocene, about 30 million years ago, when the diminutive horse, Mesohippus roamed western North Dakota. Mesohippus was tiny, about the size of a sheep. The adults were only about 20 inches tall at the shoulder. They also had three toes on each foot compared to the modern horse Equus that has one. Mesohippus was also probably more of a browsing herbivore compared to the modern grazing horse. We have found many Mesohippus fossils in North Dakota but no complete skeletons. Consequently, the Mesohippus skeleton on exhibit at the Cowboy Hall of Fame is an exact cast replica. We have also found the remains of 50,000-year-old horses in North Dakota indicating that horses lived here during the last Ice Age.

  • Kentucky Derby Comments by Brock Sheridan Photos by Coady and Chelsea Durand
    Kentucky Derby Comments By Brock Sheridan Photos by Coady and Chelsea Durand #1 Known Agenda, 6-1 Drawing the inside post is his biggest problem. He won the Curlin Florida Derby (G1) at Gulfstream Park in his last start, and an allowance race, also at Gulfstream, before that on Feb. 26 and is trained by two-time Derby-winning trainer Todd Pletcher (Always Dreaming, 2017 and Super Saver, 2010). The Florida Derby has produced more Ken- tucky Derby winners than any other prep race (24) and six Kentucky Derby winners since 2000. Third in the Rem- sen (G2) won by Brooklyn Strong at Aqueduct on Dec. 5 and fifth in the Sam Davis (G3) at Tampa Bay Downs on Feb. 6, Known Agenda looks to be a “getting good at the right time” horse with the addition of blinkers for his last two races. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. is a plus, even among the world’s best and post one. Known Agenda #2 Like the King, 50-1 Won the Grade 3 Jeff Ruby Steaks at Turfway Park in his last race and his first career victory was on turf, so rac- ing on dirt for him is a question mark. In two starts on dirt, he was second in his career debut in July and third against allowance horses at Keeneland in October. Although this is the first Derby starter for trainer Wesley Ward, he has a reputation for his horses performing well on a world stage. Like the King #3 Brooklyn Strong, 50-1 Was the last to qualify for the Kentucky Derby as he made the field over the weekend when others were with- drawn.

  • Domesticated Megafauna of Americas: Needs, Possibilities and Results
    Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems 18(2-A), 72-84, 2020 DOMESTICATED MEGAFAUNA OF AMERICAS: NEEDS, POSSIBILITIES AND RESULTS Dragica Šalamon*, Luana Velagić, Bernard Kuhar and Alen Džidić University of Zagreb – Faculty of Agriculture Zagreb, Croatia DOI: 10.7906/indecs.18.2.1 Received: 15 May 2019. Review article Accepted: 25 February 2020. ABSTRACT The article aims to determine why so few domestic animals originated in American domestication centres. The knowledge has been gathered from interdisciplinary sources taking into account recent archaeogenomic and spatial analysis research. The process of domestication is described, and different domestication centres are compared to the domestication needs and opportunities on the American continents. Human colonization of the American continent is considered. Important domestication centres on the North and South American continent are described. Dogs that colonized the American continents together with people and horses that arrived during the European colonization are also considered. The analysis of the American megafauna that lived on the continent during the first colonization of Homo sapiens showed that the big extinction occurred due to climate change and overhunting. Comparing the evolutionary process of domestication between Afro-Eurasia and America we found that there was no intentional domestication in areas peripheral to the original domestication centres in the Americas. Also, diversification of the domesticated animal purpose in the Americas is limited to dogs.
