The First Find of Merck’s Rhinoceros (Mammalia, Perissodactyla, Rhinocerotidae, Stephanorhinus kirchbergensis Jäger, 1839) Remains in the Russian Far East

Ancient and modern genomes unravel the evolutionary history of the rhinoceros family

“…The results corroborated the phylogenetic discordance discovered in the initial dataset (Figure S1D). We then simulated the gene tree The historical distribution range maps of the five extant species use information published previously (Dinerstein, 2003;Havmøller et al, 2016;Khan and van Strien, 1997;Rookmaaker and Antoine, 2012), while the ranges of the three extinct species were drawn based on their fossil records (Kahlke and Lacombat, 2008;Kosintsev et al, 2019Kosintsev et al, , 2020Shpansky and Boeskorov, 2018). All ranges are approximations aimed at conveying each species' general, rather than detailed, distribution.…”
