La increíble historia de los mamuts

We've all heard of woolly mammoths, those enormous proboscises that roamed the frozen steppes of the Ice Age. However, behind these already fascinating animals lies a fascinating story of migrations, invasions, and dwarf species that will take us from Africa to places like Siberia, North America, Central Europe, and even remote ecosystems like Crete and the Channel Islands. Stay with us to find out... Want to know more? Feel free to consult the following studies and articles: 1) The pattern and process of mammoth evolution in Eurasia https://www.sciencedirect.com/science.... 2)Evolution and dispersal of mammoths across the Northern Hemisphere https://www.researchgate.net/publicat... 3)Shoulder height, body mass, and shape of proboscideans https://www.researchgate.net/publicat... 4)Mammuthus rumanus (Stefanescu), the earliest mammoth in Europe https://www.researchgate.net/publicat... 5)The evolutionary and phylogeographic history of woolly mammoths: a comprehensive mitogenomic analysis https://www.nature.com/articles/srep4... 6)The remains of Mammuthus lamarmorai (Major, 1883) housed in the Naturhistorisches Museum of Basel (Switzerland) and the complete “Skeleton-Puzzle” https://www.researchgate.net/publicat... 7)Pleistocene insular Proboscidea of ​​the Eastern Mediterranean: A review and update https://www.sciencedirect.com/science... 8) The extinction of the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) and the straight-tusked elephant (Palaeoloxodon antiquus) in Europe https://www.sciencedirect.com/science... Note: Comparative proboscidean size measurements are for large adult male specimens. Obviously, there is a large variation when considering both sexes of the animal or juvenile specimens, so we are not referring here to all specimens of a certain species, but only to the largest males. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would you like to support our work with a donation?
