For example, in the absence of population genetic data from the recently extinct C. elephantopus, nine Galápagos tortoise individuals of substantial conservation value were previously misassigned to extant species of varying conservation status [4], [5].
Data on surface fractal complexity (Asfc) and anisotropy (epLsar), two texture attributes known to distinguish living primates with different diets, were collected and compared with those previously published for extant primates [9] and early hominins [11].
Here, the availability of population-level genotypic data from the extinct C. elephantopus enabled the identification of nine Galápagos tortoise individuals of substantial conservation value that were previously misassigned to extant species of varying conservation status.
As the population declined, extant habitats previously occupied by X. laevis were not re-colonised in the valley.
It has been previously stated that the extant population of La Gomera was genetically differentiated from other islands of the archipelago.
Phylogenetic relationships among Mesopsychidae and other mecopteran-related families, including extinct basal panorpoids, extinct basal mecopterans and extant mecopterans previously have been reported [ 3, 13].
Moreover, we genetically characterized with microsatellite markers previously sampled extinct and extant populations in order to estimate resulting cryptic genetic erosion.
The data contained within this study represents a larger and more diverse population of pediatric patients with chronic conditions than previously reported in the extant literature.
We have previously demonstrated that the extant diversity of troidines from the Western Hemisphere had a boreotropical origin followed by southward dispersal of taxa into the Neotropical region [ 36].
In addition to previously having expanded geographic ranges, extant subfossil lemurs exhibited significant variation in size.
