Ancient mitogenomes reveal unexpected diversity in Madagascar's extinct hippopotamuses

Alexander T. Salis, Evon R. Hekkala, Laurie R. Godfrey…·John J. Flynn

This study uses ancient mitochondrial genomes from Malagasy hippos to reveal unexpected diversity and a complex diversification history, challenging traditional taxonomy and showing a recent radiation of large-bodied island mammals.

Evolutionary and phylogenetic insights from a nuclear genome sequence of the extinct, giant subfossil koala lemur Megaladapis edwardsi

Stephanie Marciniak, Mehreen R. Mughal, Laurie R. Godfrey…·George H. Perry

The paper presents a nuclear genome sequence of the extinct koala lemur Megaladapis edwardsi and compares it with extant lemurs and non-lemur vertebrates to resolve phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary adaptations.
