BINE: a COalesced Mammal dataBase of INtrinsic and Extrinsic traits Our aim was to create a taxonomically integrated database of mammal traits that maximized trait number and cover-age without compromising data quality COMBINE contains information on 54 traits for 6,234 extant and recently extinct mammal species, including information on
- A genomic timescale for placental mammal evolution | Science
The precise pattern and timing of speciation events that gave rise to all living placental mammals remain controversial We provide a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of genetic variation across an alignment of 241 placental mammal genome assemblies, addressing prior concerns regarding limited genomic sampling across species
- List of bovids - Wikipedia
The family Bovidae consists of 146 extant species belonging to 53 genera in 9 subfamilies and divided into hundreds of extant subspecies This does not include hybrid species or extinct prehistoric species Additionally, the bluebuck went extinct in the last 200 years, and the aurochs went extinct 400 years ago
- Phylogenetic Trees and the Future of Mammalian Biodiversity
Phylogenies describe the origins and history of species However, they can also help to predict species’ fates and so can be useful tools for managing the future of biodiversity This chapter starts by sketching how phylogenetic, geographic, and trait information can be combined to elucidate present mammalian diversity patterns and how they arose Recent diversification rates and standing
