Abstract The study of European Pleistocene Hippopotamus presents unresolved questions
and a lack of consensus among specialists being matter of hotly debate in the last decades …

Once abundant across Africa, the common hippopotamus is threatened owing to habitat
degradation and loss, hunting, and negative human–wildlife interactions. West African …

Cryptic phylogeographic diversifications provide unique models to examine the role of
phylogenetic divergence on the evolution of reproductive isolation, without extrinsic factors …

Hotspots of intraspecific genetic diversity, which are of primary importance for the
conservation of species, have been associated with glacial refugia, that is areas where …

Despite their paramount importance in molecular ecology and conservation, genetic
diversity and structure remain challenging to quantify with traditional genotyping methods …

Although fossil assemblages from the late Early Pleistocene are very rare in Britain, the site
of Westbury Cave in Somerset, England, has the potential to address this gap. The mammal …

The Cypriot pygmy hippopotamus is an extinct Mediterranean species that inhabited the
island of Cyprus during the Late Pleistocene. This iconic species last appears at the …

Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles are correlated with dramatic temperature oscillations.
Examining how species responded to these natural fluctuations can provide valuable …

Abstract Aim The impact of Pleistocene climatic oscillations on tropical biomes is associated
with changes in the extent of forest cover. Fruit bats have played a role in woodland …

The common hippopotamus is an extant African megaherbivore that is relatively
understudied by scientists and underfunded by conservation organisations. Conflict with …
