Although different selection regimes are expected to act on the magnitude of immune response, there are limited studies that have investigated the different patterns of selection pressures on the immune response quantitatively. I employed evolutionary models (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models) to identify different patterns of selection on the antiviral immune response of fibroblasts derived from 18 mammalian species and one vertebrate stimulated by viral ligand, poly I: C, or Interferon alpha cytokine. I found stabilizing selection to be the dominant form of selection on the immune response. Out of 59 genes that were found to be responding in at least 15 species, 50 genes were found to be under stabilizing selection. Moreover, the evolutionary variance was found to differ among these conservatively responding genes implicated in fighting viruses. For instance, ADAR was found to have low evolutionary variance while TRIM14 response showed the opposite trend suggesting different evolutionary pressures acting on the magnitude of response. Directional selection was also detected in specific infra-orders of primates such as apes and old-world monkeys in response of innate immune effectors.","PeriodicalId":50158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mammalian Evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140839480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lineage dispersal modeling was employed to test the validity of previously reported biogeographic patterns in NWM. Specifically, this research sought to confirm whether the dispersal timings of these patterns were supported by the modeling results. Species geographic distributions of extant platyrrhines were used to obtain a bioregionalization scheme. A lineage dispersal model was constructed based on multiple-area range, likelihood inference of rate, and stochastic mapping under likelihood. Based on published phylogenies, ten trees were randomly sampled and, for each tree, ten stochastic mappings were simulated. Results were presented as event counts and averages across the 100 stochastic mappings, and the timings of the inferred dispersal routes were compared to the timings of 12 biogeographic pattern hypotheses gathered from the literature. The modeling analysis provided directional and temporal support for eleven of the twelve patterns. Lineages most frequently dispersed from Western Amazonia towards other bioregions. For four dispersal routes, events initiated earlier than previously reported. The Western Amazonia bioregion served as both the ancestral area and primary source of platyrrhine lineages. Analyses revealed a novel biogeographic pattern, namely the “Amazonian eastward” dispersal route, which started in the Miocene epoch, during the establishment of the transcontinental Amazon River system, and lasted until recently in an increasing trend of dispersal rate. This route showed the greatest number of dispersal events during the macroevolution of NWM.","PeriodicalId":50158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mammalian Evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140800434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early in their evolutionary history, embrithopods colonized the insular terrane of Balkanatolia, presumably via dispersal across the Tethyan marine barrier that separated Africa from Eurasia during the early Cenozoic. Here we report new embrithopods from the early Eocene locality of Çamili Mezra, Çiçekdaği Basin, central Anatolia, which document the early co-occurrence of two sympatric species of embrithopods, including Crivadiatherium sevketseni sp. nov. and Crivadiatherium sahini sp. nov. The genus Crivadiatherium, otherwise known only from the late Eocene of Romania, is reported for the first time in Anatolia. Hypsamasia seni from the middle Eocene of north-central Anatolia is interpreted as a nomen dubium. Embrithopod specimens previously described as Palaeoamasia sp. nov. from the Eocene-Oligocene transition of the Boyabat Basin in northern Anatolia are identified as a new genus and species, Axainamasia sandersi. The embrithopod fauna of Çamili Mezra indicates that this clade experienced at least a modest adaptive radiation after successfully colonizing Balkanatolia. The Balkanatolian record of embrithopod evolution contrasts with the evolutionary history of this clade in its native Africa, where sympatric embrithopod taxa have never been documented.","PeriodicalId":50158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mammalian Evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140800475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Refined species delimitation approaches (GMYC, PTP, ASAP) revealed potential cryptic diversity, suggesting up to 20 candidate species. Three geographically structured and divergent lineages (4.1–4.8% sequence divergence) were identified within G. agilis, extending its Cerrado range. Within G. emiliae, we found divergence values ranging from 4.7–5.7% and the first known record for the northeastern Atlantic Forest. Three divergent clades were recovered within G. microtarsus (9.0–9.8% sequence divergence), including a new lineage for the northern Atlantic Forest. For G. peruanus, we found two divergent lineages (7.2%) and the first documented occurrence for Amazonian lowland forest. This comprehensive sampling revealed greater genetic diversity in Gracilinanus, extending its geographic limits. Here we propose nine putative new species, emphasizing a hidden diversity that warrants formal description and further increases the taxonomic diversity of this genus. These newly identified lineages underscore the urgency of inventorying and conserving the threatened ecosystems of the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest hotspots.","PeriodicalId":50158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mammalian Evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140575820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current DTM protocols usually rely on proprietary software, which may be unavailable to researchers for reasons of cost. We address this issue in the context of a DTM analysis of the primate clade Platyrrhini (“New World monkeys”) by: 1) presenting a large comparative sample of scanned second lower molars (m2s) of callitrichids (marmosets and tamarins), previously underrepresented in publicly available datasets; and 2) giving full details of an entirely freeware pipeline for DTM analysis and its validation. We also present an updated dietary classification scheme for extant platyrrhines, based on cluster analysis of dietary data extracted from 98 primary studies. Our freeware pipeline performs equally well in dietary classification accuracy of an existing sample of platyrrhine m2s (excluding callitrichids) as a published protocol that uses proprietary software when multiple DTMs are combined. Individual DTMs, however, sometimes showed very different results in classification accuracies between protocols, most likely due to differences in smoothing functions. The addition of callitrichids resulted in high classification accuracy in predicting diet with combined DTMs, although accuracy was considerably higher when molar size was included (90%) than excluded (73%). We conclude that our new freeware DTM pipeline is capable of accurately predicting diet in platyrrhines based on tooth shape and size, and so is suitable for inferring probable diet of taxa for which direct dietary information is unavailable, such as fossil species.","PeriodicalId":50158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mammalian Evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140172297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Body mass is a widely used size measure across different taxonomic groups, but it combines skeletal size with nutritional and reproductive status. In bats, forearm length is commonly used as a measure of skeletal size. However, body mass and forearm length are poorly correlated within species. This suggests that the two size variables are measuring different biological attributes. Here, we tested this hypothesis by evaluating the association between body mass, forearm length, and fitness components (survival and reproduction), derived from mark-recapture models, as well as their trends over a nine-year period in a population of short-tailed bats (Carollia perspicillata). Results showed a direct relationship between body mass, survival, and reproduction, and an inverse relationship between forearm length, survival, and reproduction. Different temporal trends in the size variables were observed according to sex and age. Males showed a trend of increasing average mass over the years. In adults, average forearm length decreased over the years, whereas juveniles showed an increasing trend. Our results showed that body mass and forearm length have distinct evolutionary dynamics and proximal mechanisms of change. Forearm length is a measure of wing size and should not be used as a proxy for body size in intraspecific studies.","PeriodicalId":50158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mammalian Evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139758508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case of suids, fossils of Albanohyus castellensis and Listriodon splendens have been described in detail, but those of suines and tetraconodontines need revision. Here, we describe more than 200 remains (both published and unpublished) of these suid subfamilies from CB, including mostly isolated teeth and some dentognathic fragments, to justify their taxonomic attribution. We conclude that CB records the suine Propotamochoerus palaeochoerus and the tetraconodontines Parachleuastochoerus valentini and Versoporcus steinheimensis—contrasting with previous reports that the latter was the only large tetraconodontine present there. The remains of Pa. valentini confirm the distinctiveness of this species and reinforce the contention that it is not a junior synonym of Conohyus simorrensis, while those of Versoporcus lead us to conclude that Versoporcus grivensis is a junior subjective synonym of V. steinheimensis. We further conclude that many remains previously included in Conohyus doati belong instead to Pa. valentini, although the species is considered a nomen dubium because its lectotype might belong to either Conohyus or Versoporcus.","PeriodicalId":50158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mammalian Evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139677635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Argyrolagidae, marsupials from the Oligocene to Pliocene of South America, have also been considered to be hoppers. These lineages all convergently evolved similar general morphologies, with elongated hindlimbs, reduced forelimbs, and elongated tails, and their similarities and variations may be informative in understanding the evolution of hopping in mammals. This study uses principal components analysis and log-log regressions to investigate variation in the hindlimb proportions of these hopping mammals and how this relates to body mass. We find that the distribution of hopping mammal masses is bimodal, divided at roughly 500 g. These two domains among hopping mammals may reflect optimisation for different forms of hopping locomotion; species under 500 g tend to have more elongated metatarsals relative to the rest of their hindlimbs, perhaps to facilitate rapid vertical jumps for predator evasion, a behaviour not seen in larger hoppers. Despite this bimodal distribution in body mass, hindlimb proportions cluster more by clade than mass, with some similarities among clades being especially noteworthy. The jerboas (Dipodidae, Rodentia) and Argyrolagidae share a particularly extreme degree of metatarsal elongation. The drivers of this convergence are unclear, but we hypothesise that the elongation may be related to the reduction/fusion of metatarsals in these groups, or a greater reliance on bipedality at slow speeds, as jerboas are known to utilise multiple bipedal gaits in addition to hopping.","PeriodicalId":50158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mammalian Evolution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139680158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
