Historic hybridization and persistence of a novel mito-nuclear combination in red-backed voles (genus Myodes) (2009)

Runck, Amy M, Matocq, Marjorie D, Cook, Joseph A

Abstract Background The role of hybridization in generating diversity in animals is an active area of discovery and debate. We assess hybridization across a contact zone of northern ( Myodes rutilus...

Baker, Robert J, Schmidly, David J, Cook, Joseph A, Salazar-Bravo, Jorge, Genoways, Hugh H.

On 11 December 2007, the science of mammalogy lost one of its most valued and influential leaders. Terry Lamon Yates succumbed to complications of treatments for an aggressive form of brain cancer...

Beringia: Intercontinental exchange and diversification of high latitude mammals and their parasites during the Pliocene and Quaternary (2005)

Joseph A. Cook, Eric P. Hoberg, Anson Koehler, Heikki Henttonen, Lotta Wickström, Voitto Haukisalmi, ...

Beringia is the region spanning eastern Asia and northwestern North America that remained ice-free during the full glacial events of the Pleistocene. Numerous questions persist regarding the...

Host Associations of the Tick, Ixodes angustus (Acari: Ixodidae), on Alaskan Mammals (2003)

Brian P. Murrell, Lance A. Durden, Joseph A. Cook

Infestation parameters are presented for 227 ticks, all Ixodes angustus Neumann, collected from individual mammals (n = 531) in southeastern and south-central Alaska from 1996 to 1999. This tick was...

Recurrent Amplifications and Deletions of Satellite DNA Accompanied Chromosomal Diversification in South American Tuco-tucos (Genus Ctenomys, Rodentia: Octodontidae): A Phylogenetic Approach (2001)

Slamovits, Claudio H., Cook, Joseph A., Lessa, Enrique P., Susana Rossi, M.

We investigated the relationship between satellite copy number and chromosomal evolution in tuco-tucos (genus Ctenomys), a karyotypically diverse clade of rodents. To explore phylogenetic...

Isolation and Characterization of a Hantavirus from Lemmus sibiricus: Evidence for Host Switch during Hantavirus Evolution

Vapalahti, Olli, Lundkvist, Åke, Fedorov, Vadim, Conroy, Christopher J., Hirvonen, Sirpa, Plyusnina, Angelina, ...

A novel hantavirus, first detected in Siberian lemmings (Lemmus sibiricus) collected near the Topografov River in the Taymyr Peninsula, Siberia (A. Plyusnin et al., Lancet 347:1835–1836, 1996), was...

Genetic footprints of demographic expansion in North America, but not Amazonia, during the Late Quaternary

Lessa, Enrique P., Cook, Joseph A., Patton, James L.

The biotic consequences of climate change have attracted considerable attention. In particular, the “refugial debate” centers on the possible retraction of habitats to limited areas that may have...
