“…On the other hand, the locality of the youngest stem ziphiid (Ninoziphius platyrostris, Sud-Sacaco, Sacaco Basin, Peru; Muizon, 1984 [44]) was recently re-dated to the Late Miocene (possibly early Messinian [50]). The extinction of stem ziphiids may thus be roughly synchronous with the Late Miocene appearance and early diversification of modern delphinoid families, including delphinids for which divergence date estimates fall within the Tortonian or-a less likely result considering the fossil record-the latest Messinian [47][48][49][51][52][53]. If, as proposed above, stem ziphiids were predominantly feeding on epipelagic prey, then they may have entered into competition with delphinids for the resources available there, unlike deepsea crown ziphiids.…”

“…The oldest record for a crown ziphiid is a small berardiine from the Middle Miocene (late Langhian to early Serravallian, 15-13.2 Ma) of the North Sea [6,46] (figure 4); although from platform deposits, this record provides a minimum date for the emergence of deep diving in ziphiids, still younger than some (but not all) molecular divergence date estimates provided form Crown Ziphiidae [47][48][49]. On the other hand, the locality of the youngest stem ziphiid (Ninoziphius platyrostris, Sud-Sacaco, Sacaco Basin, Peru; Muizon, 1984 [44]) was recently re-dated to the Late Miocene (possibly early Messinian [50]).…”

No deep diving: evidence of predation on epipelagic fish for a stem beaked whale from the Late Miocene of Peru

Although modern beaked whales (Ziphiidae) are known to be highly specialized toothed whales that predominantly feed at great depths upon benthic and benthopelagic prey, only limited palaeontological data document this major ecological shift. We report on a ziphiid-fish assemblage from the Late Miocene of Peru that we interpret as the first direct evidence of a predator-prey relationship between a ziphiid and epipelagic fish. Preserved in a dolomite concretion, a skeleton of the stem ziphiid Messapicetus gregarius was discovered together with numerous skeletons of a clupeiform fish closely related to the epipelagic extant Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax). Based on the position of fish individuals along the head and chest regions of the ziphiid, the lack of digestion marks on fish remains and the homogeneous size of individuals, we propose that this assemblage results from the death of the whale (possibly via toxin poisoning) shortly after the capture of prey from a single school. Together with morphological data and the frequent discovery of fossil crown ziphiids in deep-sea deposits, this exceptional record supports the hypothesis that only more derived ziphiids were regular deep divers and that the extinction of epipelagic forms may coincide with the radiation of true dolphins.

Recently, there has been considerable interest in genetic differentiation in the Cervidae family. A common tool used to determine genetic variation in different species, breeds and populations is mitochondrial DNA analysis, which can be used to estimate phylogenetic relationships among animal taxa and for molecular phylogenetic evolution analysis. With the development of sequencing technology, more and more mitochondrial sequences have been made available in public databases, including whole mitochondrial DNA sequences. These data have been used for phylogenetic analysis of animal species, and for studies of evolutionary processes.We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of a Central European red deer, Cervus elaphus hippelaphus, from Hungary by a next generation sequencing technology. The mitochondrial genome is 16 354 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region, all of which are arranged similar as in other vertebrates. We made phylogenetic analyses with the new sequence and 76 available mitochondrial sequences of Cervidae, using Bos taurus mitochondrial sequence as outgroup. We used 'neighbor joining' and 'maximum likelihood' methods on whole mitochondrial genome sequences; the consensus phylogenetic trees supported monophyly of the family Cervidae; it was divided into two subfamilies, Cervinae and Capreolinae, and five tribes, Cervini, Muntiacini, Alceini, Odocoileini, and Capreolini. The evolutionary structure of the family Cervidae can be reconstructed by phylogenetic analysis based on whole mitochondrial genomes; which method could be used broadly in phylogenetic evolutionary analysis of animal taxa.

“…For this study, the 5′ fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene was amplified and sequenced with two primers: UTyr and C1L705 (Hassanin et al 2012). The polymerase chain reactions (PCR) were carried out in a volume of 20 μl containing 3 μl of PCR buffer 10 × with MgCl 2 , 2 μl of dNTPs (6.6 mm), 1 μl of each of two primers (10 μm), and 0.1 μl of Taq polymerase (2.5 U, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany).…”

Abstract:In 2011, three specimens from an unknown species of tube-nosed bat (genus Murina) were collected in montane moist forest at altitudes between 1117 and 1682 m in the Ngoc Linh Nature Reserve of Vietnam. We sequenced the mitochondrial COI gene from Ngoc Linh bats and performed comparisons with Murina sequences available in the nucleotide databases. The results suggested that the three unidentified specimens belong to Murina lorelieae, a species recently described from a single specimen collected in southern China. Nucleotide distances between specimens from Ngoc Linh and southern China are exceptionally low for M. lorelieae (1.25%) in comparison with three other Murina species, i.e., Murina cyclotis, Murina feae, and Murina huttoni (3.9-5.5%). We suggest that M. lorelieae is adapted to montane forests, which may have facilitated long-distance dispersal events between southern China and Vietnam during glacial periods of the Pleistocene. Morphological comparisons based on body-size measurements and geometric morphometric analyses of the skulls showed differences between Vietnamese specimens and the Chinese holotype of M. lorelieae. We proposed that the Vietnamese specimens belong to a distinct subspecies, M. lorelieae ngoclinhensis.
