Climate and refugial origin influence the mitochondrial lineage distribution of weasels (Mustela nivalis) in a phylogeographic suture zone
Overarching trends can be seen in European mammalian phylogeography, yet it is clear that species responded differently depending on adaptations to past environments. We built upon previous work on the phylogeography of weasels (Mustela nivalis) in Europe by using well-preserved museum specimens from a proposed phylogeographic suture zone. The complete...McDevitt, Allan D ; Zub, Karol ; Kawalko, Agata ; Oliver, Matthew K ; Herman, Jeremy S …

Molecular confirmation of Hymenolepis hibernia in field mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) from St Kilda has potential to resolve a host-parasite relationship
Insular wildlife populations provide opportunities to examine biological questions in systems that are relatively closed and potentially tractable, striking examples being the long-term studies of ecology and evolution in the red deer and feral sheep populations on the Hebridean islands of Rum and St Kilda. In the case of parasitology,... -

Corrigendum to “Species identification of archaeological marine mammals using collagen fingerprinting” [YJASC 41 (2014) 631–641]
Throughout human history, coastal and marine resources have been a vital part of human subsistence. As a result archaeological faunal assemblages from coastal sites often contain large quantities of skeletal remains indicative of human interaction with marine mammals. However, these are often hard to identify due to a unique combination...Buckley, M ; Fraser, S ; Herman, Jeremy S ; Melton, N D ; Mulville, J …

Postglacial recolonization and Holocene diversification of Crocidura suaveolens (Mammalia, Soricidae) on the north-western fringe of the European continent
Phenotypic variation was characterized in 187 modern and archaeological specimens of the lesser white-toothed shrew (Crocidura suaveolens), obtained from both insular and continental European locations. Geometric morphometric methods were used to quantify variation in size and shape of the mandible. The phenotypic distance between populations, and the influence of several... -

Species identification of voles and lemmings from Late Pleistocene deposits in Pin Hole Cave (Creswell Crags, UK) using collagen fingerprinting
Microfaunal remains are commonly used as palaeoenvironmental proxies and have been proposed as a means to identify relative ages of Late Quaternary deposits through biostratigraphy (i.e., utilising ‘Mammal Assemblage Zones’). However, assemblages of faunal remains can include a diverse range of taxa which are often difficult to distinguish using morphological... -

The Celtic fringe of Britain: insights from small mammal phylogeography.
Recent genetic studies have challenged the traditional view that the ancestors of British Celtic people spread from central Europe during the Iron Age and have suggested a much earlier origin for them as part of the human recolonization of Britain at the end of the last glaciation. Here we propose...Searle, Jeremy B ; Kotlik, Petr ; Rambau, Ramugondo V ; Markova, Silvia ; Herman, Jeremy S …

Osteoarthritis of the temporo-mandibular joint in free-living Soay sheep on St Kilda
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease of synovial joints with the potential to cause pathology and welfare issues in both domestic and wild ruminants. Previous work has identified OA of the elbow joint in domestic sheep, but the prevalence of OA of the jaw and in particular the temporomandibular...Stojak, J ; McDevitt, A D ; Herman, Jeremy S ; Searle, Jeremy B ; Wojcik, J M

Endemic species may have complex histories: within-refugium phylogeography of an endangered Iberian vole
Glacial refugia protected and promoted biodiversity during the Pleistocene, not only at a broader scale, but also for many endemics that contracted and expanded their ranges within refugial areas. Understanding the evolutionary history of refugial endemics is especially important in the case of endangered species to recognize the origins of...Barbosa, S ; Paupério, J ; Herman, Jeremy S ; Ferreira, C M ; Pita, R …

Between the Balkans and the Baltic: Phylogeography of a common vole Mitochondrial DNA lineage limited to Central Europe
The common vole (Microtus arvalis) has been a model species of small mammal for studying end-glacial colonization history. In the present study we expanded the sampling from central and eastern Europe, analyzing contemporary genetic structure to identify the role of a potential ‘northern glacial refugium’, i.e. a refugium at a...Stojak, Joanna ; McDevitt, Allan D ; Herman, Jeremy S ; Kryštufek, Boris ; Uhlíková, Jitka …
