Article Synopsis
- The high level of unique species (endemism) on Sulawesi was previously thought to originate from geological changes 40 million years ago, but recent studies indicate that much of the current fauna has formed in the last 15 million years.
- Recent geological uplift of previously submerged land on Sulawesi may have facilitated the simultaneous expansion of key mammal species, including the babirusa, anoa, and Sulawesi warty pig, over the last few million years.
- Findings suggest that the rise of land about 1-2 million years ago played a significant role in shaping the island's distinct animal populations through geological events.
Knowledge of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in crocodilians (Crocodylia) is limited, and their distribution among extant species is unclear. Here we analyzed the phylogenetic relationships of these retroelements in 20 species of crocodilians by studying the pro-pol gene. The results showed that crocodilian ERVs (CERVs) cluster into two major clades (CERV 1 and CERV 2).
