American Mastodon Mitochondrial Genomes Suggest Multiple Dispersal Events in Response to Pleistocene Climate Oscillations
Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles are correlated with dramatic temperature oscillations. Examining how species responded to these natural fluctuations can provide valuable insights into the impacts of present-day anthropogenic climate change. Here we present a phylogeographic study of the extinct American mastodon (Mammut americanum), based on 35 complete mitochondrial genomes. These data reveal the presence of multiple lineages within this species, including two distinct clades from eastern Beringia. Our molecular date estimates suggest that these clades arose at different times, supporting a pattern of repeated northern expansion and local extirpation in response to glacial cycling. Consistent with this hypothesis, we also note lower levels of genetic diversity among northern mastodons than in endemic clades south of the continental ice sheets. The results of our study highlight the complex relationships between population dispersals and climate change, and can provide testable hypotheses for extant species expected to experience substantial biogeographic impacts from rising temperatures
Grey wolf genomic history reveals a dual ancestry of dogs
The grey wolf (Canis lupus) was the first species to give rise to a domestic population, and they remained widespread throughout the last Ice Age when many other large mammal species went extinct. Little is known, however, about the history and possible extinction of past wolf populations or when and where the wolf progenitors of the present-day dog lineage (Canisfamiliaris) lived(1-8). Here we analysed 72 ancient wolf genomes spanning the last 100,000 years from Europe, Siberia and North America. We found that wolf populations were highly connected throughout the Late Pleistocene, with levels of differentiation an order of magnitude lower than they are today. This population connectivity allowed us to detect natural selection across the time series, including rapid fixation of mutations in the gene IFT8840,000-30,000 years ago. We show that dogs are overall more closely related to ancient wolves from eastern Eurasia than to those from western Eurasia, suggesting a domestication process in the east. However, we also found that dogs in the Near East and Africa derive up to half of their ancestry from a distinct population related to modern southwest Eurasian wolves, reflecting either an independent domestication process or admixture from local wolves. None of the analysed ancient wolf genomes is a direct match for either of these dog ancestries, meaning that the exact progenitor populations remain to be located.Peer reviewe

APPENDIX I: LIST OF COMMON ACRONYM
American mastodon mitochondrial genomes suggest multiple dispersal events in response to Pleistocene climate oscillations
Pleistocene population dynamics can inform the consequences of current climate change. This phylogeography of 35 complete American mastodon mitochondrial genomes suggests distinct lineages in this species repeatedly expanded northwards and then went locally extinct in response to glacial cycles
Long-term development of a cultural landscape: the origins and dynamics of lowland heathland in southern England
The lowland heathlands of southern England
comprise ca. 14 % of the total area of this habitat in Europe
yet their history is poorly understood. This paper presents
the first detailed palaeoecological evidence (combining
palynological, microscopic charcoal and radiocarbon data)
relating to the origin and long-term dynamics of heathland
vegetation in southern England. Valley peat sites, situated
on the Lower Greensand Group (coarse-grained sandstones)
at Conford (Hampshire) and Hurston Warren
(West Sussex) have been investigated. The sequence from
Conford indicates the unusually late survival of Pinus
sylvestris (to as late as ca. 6050 cal. B.P.) in southern
England. This is attributed to edaphic factors and, after ca.
7050 cal. B.P., to frequent fires. After intervening phases of
dominance by deciduous woodland, heathland vegetation
became established in the proximity of both sites in the
Late Bronze Age (ca. 3000 cal. B.P.) with increases in
indicators of grazing and burning demonstrating an association between the development of heathland and human
activity. Thereafter, the pollen and charcoal records show
that the vegetation remained in a dynamic state as the scale
and nature of human activity varied through time. Major
expansions in the extent of heathland occurred relatively
recently; after ca. 1450 cal. B.P. at Hurston Warren and after
ca. 850 cal. B.P. at Conford. A review of the palaeoecological
evidence suggests that the most intense use and
greatest coverage of heathland in southern England probably
occurred during the medieval to post-medieval periods

APPENDIX I: LIST OF COMMON ACRONYM
Fission-Track Thermochronology Applied to the Evolution of Passive Continental Margins
International audiencePassive continental margins (PCMs) form at divergent plate boundaries in response to continental breakup and subsequent formation of new oceanic basins. The onshore topography of PCMs is a key component to understand the evolution of extensional settings. The classic nomenclature of PCMs is derived from early investigations that suggested apparent tectonic stability after the initial phase of rifting and breakup. However, geological and geomorphic diversity of PCMs requires more complex models of rift and post-rift evolution. Fission-track (FT) thermochronology provides appropriate tools to decipher the long-term development of PCM topography and better resolve the spatial and temporal relationships between continental erosion and sediment accumulation in adjacent offshore basins. FT datasets have revealed complex spatial and temporal denudation histories across some PCMs and have shown that several kilometres of material may be removed from the onshore margin following rifting. Combining these data with geological and geomorphological observations, and with predictions from numerical modelling, suggests that PCMs may have experienced significant post-rift activity. Case histories illustrated in this chapter include the PCM of southeastern Africa and the conjugate PCMs of the North and South Atlantic
