{ "description": "Modern felid species descend from relatively recent (<11 million years ago) divergence and speciation events that produced successful predatory carnivores worldwide but that have confounded taxonomic classifications. A highly resolved molecular phylogeny with divergence dates for all living cat species, derived from autosomal, X-linked, Y-linked, and mitochondrial gene segments (22,789 base pairs) and 16 fossil calibrations define eight principal lineages produced through at least 10 intercontinental migrations facilitated by sea-level fluctuations. A ghost lineage analysis indicates that available felid fossils underestimate (i.e., unrepresented basal branch length) first occurrence by an average of 76%, revealing a low representation of felid lineages in paleontological remains. The phylogenetic performance of distinct gene classes showed that Y-chromosome segments are appreciably more informative than mitochondrial DNA, X-linked, or autosomal genes in resolving the rapid Felidae species radiation.", "license": "http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode", "creator": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Pecon-Slattery, Jill" }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Eizirik, Eduardo" }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Murphy, William J." }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Johnson, Warren E." }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Teeling, Emma C." }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Antunes, Agostinho" }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "O'Brien, Stephen J." } ], "headline": "The Late Miocene Radiation of Modern Felidae: A Genetic Assessment", "image": "https://zenodo.org/static/img/logos/zenodo-gradient-round.svg", "datePublished": "2006-01-06", "url": "https://zenodo.org/record/1230866", "@context": "https://schema.org/", "identifier": "https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1122277", "@id": "https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1122277", "@type": "ScholarlyArticle", "name": "The Late Miocene Radiation of Modern Felidae: A Genetic Assessment" }
