Resumen: Woolly mammoths were among the most abundant coldadapted species during the Pleistocene. Their once-large populations went extinct in two major waves, an endPleistocene extinction of continental populations followed by the mid-Holocene extinction of relict populations on St. Paul Island ∼5,600 years ago and Wrangel Island ∼4,000 years ago. Here I will discuss the functional and genomic consequences of mammoth population decline and prospects for their "de-extinction".

Anfitrión: Dr. Alexander Vargas Milne.
