The evolutionary and phylogeographic history of woolly mammoths: a comprehensive mitogenomic analysis
Abstract
Near the end of the Pleistocene epoch, populations of the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) were distributed across parts of three continents, from western Europe and northern Asia through Beringia to the Atlantic seaboard of North America.
