“…Although the existence of past connections between Borneo and Palawan has been debated, as the fauna on Palawan has affinities to Borneo Piper et al, 2011), there were either some land connections or dispersal by rafting was possible across a narrow sea.…”

Although recent molecular studies have clarified the phylogeny of mongooses, the systematics of the Southeast Asian species was incomplete as the collared mongoose Urva semitorquata and some debatable taxa (Hose's mongoose, Palawan mongoose) were missing in the analyses. We sequenced three mitochondrial (cytochrome b, ND2, control region) and one nuclear (beta-fibrinogen intron 7) fragments of the Southeast Asian mongooses to clarify the systematic position of the different species and populations occurring in this region. Our results showed that the collared mongoose is closely related to the crab-eating mongoose Urva urva, these two species forming a sistergroup to the short-tailed mongoose Urva brachyura. Despite Sumatran collared mongooses having a peculiar orange phenotype, we showed that they exhibited very little genetic divergence to individuals from Borneo. In contrast, the populations of the short-tailed mongoose from Borneo were strongly divergent to those from Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra, and these might represent separate species. Within the crab-eating mongoose, we observed little geographical genetic structure. Our study suggests that Hose's mongoose is not a valid species. The Palawan mongooses did not cluster with the other populations of the short-tailed mongoose; they were closer to the collared mongoose and should be included in this species.

“…The Pleistocene fossil record in Palawan goes back to the late Pleistocene in Tabon (Fox 1970) and Ile 234 cave (Piper et al 2011) and contains fossils of two deer species, namely Axis (Hyelaphus) 235 calamianensis and a larger species identified as Cervus (Rusa) sp. 236 <Table 3> 237…”

“…A single canine and calcaneus in the Agop Sarapad entrance to Madai Cave in Sabah (MAD2), north Borneo, are dated by freshwater shell to ca. 10,000-9000 BP (Bellwood 1988: 125;Cranbrook 1988aCranbrook : 147, 1988b) and four bones within secure contexts date to the Terminal Pleistocene and early Holocene (10,000 BP and older) from Ille Cave, northern Palawan (Lewis et al 2008;Piper et al 2011). None of these remains are diagnostic enough to distinguish between Canis and Cuon alpinus (Asiatic wild dog).…”
