The last glaciation was a dynamic period with strong impact on the demography of many
species and populations. In recent years, mitochondrial DNA sequences retrieved from …

The onset of the Holocene was associated with a global temperature increase, which led to
a rise in sea levels and isolation of the last surviving population of woolly mammoths on …

Ancient DNA analyses have provided enhanced resolution of population histories in many
Pleistocene taxa. However, most studies are spatially restricted, making inference of species …

Woolly mammoths, Mammuthus primigenius, are arguably the most iconic of the extinct
Pleistocene megafauna, and an abundance of large permafrost‐embedded bone and ivory …

The population dynamics of the Pleistocene woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) has
been the subject of intensive palaeogenetic research. Although a large number of …

The processes leading up to species extinctions are typically characterized by prolonged
declines in population size and geographic distribution, followed by a phase in which …

Comparative genomics studies typically limit their focus to single nucleotide variants (SNVs)
and that was the case for previous comparisons of woolly mammoth genomes. We extended …

The interval since circa 50 Ka has been a period of significant species extinctions among the
large mammal fauna. However, the relative roles of an increasing human presence and a …

In many extant animal and plant species in Europe and North America a correlation exists
between the geographical location of individuals and the genetic relatedness of the …

During the Late Pleistocene, the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) experienced a
series of local extinctions generally attributed to human predation or environmental change …
