Late Quaternary Extinctions: State of the Debate (2006, background): “For example, genetic analyses suggest that Holocene bison from south of the Laurentide ice sheet (Bison bison) are descendents of larger, morphologically distinct Pleistocene bison from the region (Bison antiquus) (Shapiro et al. 2004).”
Pleistocene Overkill and North American Mammalian Extinctions (2015, background): “…and local extirpations occurred in many genera over the Late Pleistocene, though their scale and timing varies across taxa (e.g., Barnes et al. 2002, Campos et al. 2010b, Debruyne et al. 2008, Lorenzen et al. 2011, Mann et al. 2013, Meiri et al. 2014, Shapiro et al. 2004, Zazula et al. 2014).”
The impact of climate change on large mammal distribution and extinction: Evidence from the last glacial/interglacial transition (2008, neutral): “bison [19].”
Exploring the temporal structure of heterochronous sequences using TempEst (formerly Path-O-Gen) (2016, neutral): “…influenza A/H3N2 viruses (Russell et al. 2008), (2) whole-genome sequences of the hepatitis C virus, and (3) modern and ancient mtDNA sequences obtained from bison, recovered from preserved biological samples of varying ages, the oldest being > 60,000 years before present (Shapiro et al. 2004).”
Bayesian coalescent inference of past population dynamics from molecular sequences. (2005, methodology): “Figure 4 shows the Bayesian skyline plot for Beringian bison, along with the demographic history estimated in Shapiro et al. (2004).”
Ancient DNA extraction from bones and teeth (2007, background): “Moreover, its average high performance offers the greatest chance of success in analyses of large numbers of specimen”
The fossilized birth–death process for coherent calibration of divergence-time estimates (2013, methodology): “Under this model, absolute node age estimates are calibrated by a single diversification model and arbitrary calibration densities are not necessary.”
Late-Quaternary biogeographic scenarios for the brown bear (Ursus arctos), a wild mammal model species (2011, background): “With such information, it becomes possible to link genetic patterns with historical parameters, such as climatic fluctuations (Hundertmark et al., 2002; Shapiro et al., 2004; Saarma et al., 2007) or domestication (Ho et al., 2008b).”
