“…Comparison with ages for the MN boundaries derived from other studies (Agustl et al, 2001;van Dam et al, 2006; Domingo et al, Table 5 2007) indicates some differences that might be related to different factors.…”

“…Nevertheless, as can be seen here, they constitute a marginal difficulty in time spans and areas where a great amount of fieldwork and research time have been invested, as is the case of the Iberian Peninsula for the last few decades (Daams, 1989;Daams et al, 1999a;van Dam et al, 2001;Sese, 2006).…”

“…The Iberoccitanian Region is interesting due to the considerable present and past environmental differences from the rest of Europe (Wolfe, 1985;Gregor and Velitzelos, 1987;Mai, 1989;Pickford and Morales, 1994;Kovar-Eder et al, 1996;L6pez-Guerrero, 2006;van der Made et al, 2(06). These differences are associated with an increase in aridity from northeastern to southwestern Europe Uimenez-Moreno and Sue, 2007;Furi6 et al, 2011).…”

“…1). These Cenozoic basins provide the best known fossil record of rodent faunas on the European continent (Daams et aI., 1997;Daams et aI., 1998;Agusti et aI., 2001;Alba et aI., 2001;van Dam, 2003;Sese, 2006;van der Made et al, 2006;Palombo and Sardella, 2007).…”

“…One problem arising with the MN units, however, is the possibility that some of the genera described in these reference localities might not be present in other localities of the same age. Such a problem is mainly due to biogeographic provinciality (Mvarez-Sierra et al, 1990;van Dam et al, 2001;van Dam, 2003;Alba et al, 2006;Kalin and Kempf, 2009;van der Meulen et al, 2011).…”

Mitochondrial DNA analyses revealed distinct lineages in an alpine mammal, Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica) in Xinjiang, China

Maternal lineages of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are recognized as important components of intra and interspecific biodiversity and help us to disclose the phylogeny and divergence times of many taxa. Species of the genus Capra are canonical mountain dwellers. Among these is the Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica), which is regarded as a relic species whose intraspecific classification has been controversial so far. We collected 58 samples in Xinjiang, China, and analyzed the mtDNA genes to shed light on the intraspecific relationships of the C. sibirica populations and estimate the divergence time. Intriguingly, we found that the mtDNA sequences of C. sibirica split into two main lineages in both phylogenetic and network analyses: the Southern lineage, sister to Capra falconeri, consisting of samples from Ulugqat, Kagilik (both in Xinjiang), India, and Tajikistan; and the Northern lineage further divided into four monophyletic clades A–D corresponding to their geographic origins. Samples from Urumqi, Sawan, and Arturk formed a distinct monophyletic clade C within the Northern lineage. The genetic distance between the C. sibirica clades ranges from 3.0 to 8.6%, with values of FST between 0.839 and 0.960, indicating notable genetic differentiation. The split of the genus Capra occurred approximately 6.75 Mya during the late Miocene. The Northern lineage diverged around 5.88 Mya, followed by the divergence of Clades A–D from 3.30 to 1.92 Mya during the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene. The radiation between the Southern lineage and C. falconeri occurred at 2.29 Mya during the early Pleistocene. Our results highlight the importance of extensive sampling when relating to genetic studies of alpine mammals and call for further genomic studies to draw definitive conclusions.

A multivariate biochronological analysis of the Plio-Pleistocene Iberian rodent fossil record is presented. Among more than 300 fossil sites, 49 sites have been selected. The ordination of the fossil sites selected from the Iberian Peninsula has been achieved by the appearance event ordination method. After calibration of this ordination with geochronological dates at some of the localities, numerical dates are proposed for all the localities studied. Hence, mammal fossil sites non-datable by other means (palaeomagnetism, radiometric dating, etc.) have been dated with a relatively high degree of confidence. Final results allow dating of boundaries between the Plio-Pleistocene European Land Mammal Ages (ELMAS) or the Mammal Neogene (MN) units. These boundaries agree with previous studies using magnetostratigraphical calibration of these scales.
