Topic: Boreoeutheria


In the News (Wed 30 Dec 09)

  
  MAMMAL FACTS AND INFORMATION
The Afrotheria proceeded to evolve and diversify in the isolation of the African-Arabian continent.
The Xenarthra, isolated in South America, diverged from the Boreoeutheria approximately 100–95 mya.
The Boreoeutheria split into the Laurasiatheria and Euarchontoglires between 95 and 85 mya; both of these groups evolved on the northern continent of Laurasia.

The three possible scenarios for the position of the root of placental mammals are: (1) Afrotheria at the base of Placentalia (Xenarthra grouping with Boreoeutheria in the Exafroplacentalia); this hypothesis emerged from molecular phylogenetic studies [2,7].
Recently, molecular characters consisting of two LINE insertions were found to be shared by Boreoeutheria and Afrotheria and absent in Xenarthra [10].
The analysis of rare genomic changes, such as the insertion of retroposed elements, are thought to be exceptionally useful markers due to their ambiguity-free phylogenetic information, because the coincidence of orthologous insertions of retroposed elements belonging to the same type is unlikely [30].

Even more fundamentally, molecular evidence suggests that monotremes (Prototheria, egg-laying mammals) and marsupials (Metatheria) may be more closely related to each other than to placental mammals (Eutheria) (Janke et al.
1997), and placental mammals may be organized into larger groups (Afrotheria, Laurasiatheria, Boreoeutheria, etc.) that are quite different from traditional ones (Murphy et al.
A recent hypothesis that is gaining support from new molecular evidence is that placental mammals arose in Gondwana (as opposed to the traditional view that placental mammals first evolved in the Northern Hemisphere).

They also determine that Laurasiatheria and Euarchontoglires are sister taxa (i.e., taxa derived from a common ancestral node), and together constitute a clade (i.e., an organism and all of its descendants) named Boreoeutheria, with a northern hemispheric origin.
Deeper in the placental tree, the authors find that Xenartha and Boreoeutheria are sister taxa.
Such deciphering of higher level relationships among mammalian orders is important because of its ramifications for evolutionary biology and genomics.

Because these oldest groups are southern groups, the placental mammals originated in the south, the scientists contend.

Finally, LINE and SINE transposition, or site-specific insertion events, are considered rare genomic changes and as such are increasingly used as phylogenetic characters to test other reconstructions [11], [20].
Also included in the Boreoeutheria are monophyletic groupings of cow and dog L1 together with the pig, cat and bat L1 that collectively represent laurasiatherian elements.
All three pairs share 98–99% homology to each other: HSA_3 and PTR_2 fall within the primate L1; the older HSA_2 and PTR_1 elements fall at the base of Boreoeutheria; and the ancient HSA_4 and PTR_3 fall near the root of the tree with other ancient elements (Figure 1).

The rodents are part of the clades: Glires (along with lagomorphs), Euarchontoglires (along with lagomorphs, primates, treeshrews, and colugos), and Boreoeutheria (along with most other placental mammals).
The order Rodentia may be divided into suborders, infraorders, superfamilies and families.
