Cervalces latifrons, the broad-fronted moose, or the giant moose[3] was a giant species of deer that inhabited Europe and Asia during the Pleistocene epoch. It is thought to be the ancestor of the modern moose, as well as the extinct North American Cervalces scotti.

mitochondrial DNA of moose is limited worldwide, indicating low historic effective population size and a common ancestry for moose within the last 60,000 years. That ancestor most likely lived in central Asia. Moose likely exhibit low levels of heterogeneity because of population bottlenecks

2002年3月1日 · We examined phylogeographic relationships of moose (Alces alces) worldwide to test the proposed existence of two geographic races and to infer the timing and extent of demographic processes underpinning the expansion of this species across the Northern Hemisphere in the late Pleistocene.

2020年12月2日 · Here, we assemble a de-novo genome for the European moose (Alces alces) and analyse it together with re-sequenced nuclear genomes and ancient and modern mitogenomes from across the moose range in Eurasia and North America.

2004年1月1日 · Similarly, variation in mitochondrial DNA of moose is limited worldwide, indicating low historic effective population size and a common ancestry for moose within the last 60,000 years. That ancestor most likely lived in central Asia.

2004年1月1日 · Moose (Alces alces) are a young species in the evolutionary scheme of large mammals. The genus Alces first appears in the fossil record 2 million years ago (Thouveny and Bonifay 1984) and fossils attributable to A. alces are first recorded approximately 100,000 years ago (Lister 1993).

2019年11月30日 · We used genetics and the fossil record to study the phylogeography of three moose subspecies (Alces alces andersoni, A. a. gigas, and A. a. shirasi) in western North America. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (16,341 base pairs; n = 60 moose) and genotyped 13 nuclear microsatellites ( n = 253) to evaluate genetic variation among ...

2004年1月1日 · Similarly, variation in mitochondrial DNA of moose is limited worldwide, indicating low historic effective population size and a common ancestry for moose within the last 60,000 years. That...

2020年1月1日 · Mitochondrial genomes of moose and other cervids were used to infer highly resolved phylogenetic relationships and estimate divergence times. The analyses clearly distinguished two mtDNA lineages...
