specific information on what constitutes habitat when mapping occurrences .\nmoths in this group typically occur in large habitats (500 to > 100, 000 hectares) at substantial densities (certainly several to many per hectare per year) and utilize dominant or co - dominant trees or understory shrubs for larval foodplants. most species are polyphagous or feed on common trees or shrubs (such as oaks southward or birches northward; westward often a dominant conifer or aspen) or at least on widespread species (such as tulip tree, white pine, hickories in many mixed eastern forests) and are not highly localized. while the suitable habitat figure is arbitrary it takes into account that adults are not especially powerful fliers with most probably flying about a meter per second or about 3. 6 km per hour. they probably do not commonly move far out of forests or at least wooded situations and probably often turn back when they do while on the other hand source populations are probably usually large making isolation of occurrences from each other difficult. most of these moths are widespread within forested habitats and it is very unlikely that two collections only 10 (or even 20) kilometers apart in extensively forested regions would really be separate occurrences - - even if (as will often be true) habitat quality were not uniform .\nthis figure is arbitrary but a circle of two kilometers radius would define a habitat clearly smaller than most, but well above the smallest ones. it is probably unrealistically low in extensively forested areas. this figure should not be used however if forests are reduced to small woodlots and the landscape is more than 50% agricultural or otherwise essentially devoid of native tree cover. in such cases the inferred extent is simply the woodlot in which the collection was made. in general with habitats under 1000 hectares assume full occupancy .\nuse the generic guidelines for the application of occurrence ranks (2008). the key for ranking species occurrences using the generic approach provides a step -

cochineal reds from the american ones. usefulness of the selected set of markers for identification of polish cochineal has been demonstrated in the examination of textiles from the collection of the national museum in warsaw using the multiple reaction monitoring (mrm) method, originally elaborated on the basis of this study .\ncochineal dye was introduced into europe in the late 1500s by spanish explorers from south and central america. no information was provided on the source or nature of cochineal because the spaniards closely protected their supply. more on the history and origins of cochineal in latin america here dried cochineal looks like small silver - grey peppercorns or plant seeds. before microscopes where in use, european scientists argued for a long time as to whether cochineal was a plant, an animal or a mineral. we now know that cochineal is a female scale insect that lives on prickly pear cactus plants (opuntia or nopal) native to central and south america. scale insects are plant - sucking bugs that are covered by a white fluffy, protective coating and cochineal bugs produce carminic acid as a by - product to deter predators. crimson, fuchsia, raspberry and scarlet reds can be obtained from cochineal. the red colorant is used in drinks (e. g. campari) and in foods (under the code e120), and in drugs and cosmetics. polish cochineal, kermes, lac and st john’s blood are produced from different scale insects that are more or less closely related to true cochineal insects. the term cochineal may be applied either to the living or dried cochineal insects or to cochineal dye which is obtained from them. it takes about 155, 000 cochineal insects to produce 1 kilo of cochineal dye. more on cochineal insects (cochineal bugs or cochineal beetles)? click here .\nłagowska b, golan k, stepaniuk k. wiad entomol (in polish). 2006; 25: 5–14 .\nthese fabrics were dyed in cochineal by judy newland using eco -

especially those of the perennial knawel - found in central europe and other parts of eurasia. cochineal was used through the middle ages in the ukraine, lithuania, and eastern europe to supplement or replace the rare and costly kermes red. harvested just before the females reach maturity, usually around the saint’s day of john the baptist, the dye became known as saint john’s blood. polish cochineal was used to dye a variety of natural fabrics. the dye itself contains carminic acid with small amounts of kermesic acid .\nthere are two principal forms of cochineal dye: cochineal extract (e120 (ii) ) is a colouring made from the raw dried and pulverised bodies of insects with around 20% carminic acid; and carmine (e120 (i) ) a more purified colouring made from cochineal .\ncochinea red dye -

performance liquid chromatography is essential for the unequivocal identification of polish cochineal. the ms / ms fragmentation experiments enable fast and reliable evaluation of even limited number of samples .\na naturally - dyed and handwoven bag from patabamba, peru, using cochineal dyed yarn in lower half .\n]. however, this statistical method requires a large number of reference samples to create a correct model, which seems to be particularly difficult given the limited availability of polish cochineal. the present study demonstrates that detection of minor but characteristic compounds can also be an efficient tool for identification of polish cochineal in the historical samples, especially if access to the respective number of dye samples is restricted. nevertheless, if only appropriate reference materials are available, further studies using pls -

glucopyranoside of flavokermesic acid (dcofka). its occurrence has already been reported in the case of american cochineal [\nthe presence of 10 species of cochineal (homoptera: coccoidea) belonging to eight genera and four families (table 1) .\ncochineal (dactylopius coccus) is an insect very like the kermes insect, and lives on some cacti or prickly pears. the cochineal beetle is a primarily sessile parasite, feeding on moisture and nutrients in the cacti or prickly pears that form its habitat .\nearly observers were confused about the source of cochineal. some thought the dye came from the seed of a plant while others correctly identified the source of the dye as an insect. 5 cochineal comes from a shield insect similar to the kermes. these insects lay their eggs on the leaves or pencas of the nopal cactus, also known as the prickly pear or indian fig. 6 wild cochineal, also known as grana silvestra, could be harvested up to six times a year. this cochineal was covered with a white hairy powder and produced a higher quality dye. cultivated cochineal, or grana fina, could be harvested three times a year. 7\neuropeans first became aware of cochineal in the new world in 1523 when hernán cortés heard about the existence of nocheztli or grana, which had been used as a dyestuff by the aztec and mexican indians since time immemorial. 3 specimens of cochineal were taken to spain in the 1520s and records show that cloth merchants in antwerp were buying cochineal in insect and powdered form in spain by the 1540s. 4\nas a natural dye, the red from polish cochineal is a mixture of colorants, the composition of which is very similar to other animal red dyes such as american or armenian cochineals. they all contain mainly carminic acid and many minor colorants (i. e. , flavokermesic acid, kermesic acid, dcii, dciv, dcvii) [\ncochineal extract is hydrophilic and stable to heat and light. cochineal extract changes color depending on the ph, without forming a sediment, and therefore it has been widely used as a natural dye for food additives, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. 1) however, allergic reactions probably induced by the intake of cochineal extract have been reported, and the reaction is likely triggered by proteins and peptides in the insect, d. coccus. 4 – 6) for this reason, highly purified ca prepared from cochineal extract is often used in food additives. however, further investigation into minor compounds in commercial products is required to maintain the quality assurance of cochineal extract and ensure food safety .\ncochineal remained one of the most important sources of red dyestuffs until the 1850s, when the first synthetic dyes, called aniline dyes, were produced. the introduction of red azo dyes in the 1880s provided a cheaper synthetic alternative to cochineal and production of it essentially ceased. 17\nbrandt (two closely related species) are very similar. moreover, due to the limited availability of polish cochineal caused by decrease in its population and its protection by law, the content of the main colorants determined by the authors of the studies until now constituted the only base for the identification of this dye in pieces of art. in this way\nin addition as a dye for textiles, cochineal became widely used as a food colouring. cakes, cookies, beverages, jam, jelly, ice cream, sausages, pies, dried fish, yogurt, cider, maraschino cherries and tomato products were brightened with it as were chewing gum, pills and cough drops. cosmetic rouge was developed with cochineal as the main ingredient. cochineal is still widely used in cosmetics .\nkawecki z, 1971. a note on some european lecaniidae (coccoidea) with new additions of the austrian, british, italian and polish fauna. bulletin de l’academie polonaise des sciences, 19: 255 - 260 .\nby the seventeenth century the production of cochineal had spread through all of new spain. around 1620, the governor of yucatán, antonio de figueroa had almost three million nopal seeds planted in that peninsula. the production of cochineal was a vital product in the trade between the americas and spain. 10 the cultivation of cochineal spread into central and south america and was successful in honduras, guatemala, san salvador, and nicaragua. 11\nthe aim of the study was to create a fingerprint of color compounds present in polish cochineal and to find its markers, which would allow distinguishing of this dye from other reds of animal origin, primarily american cochineal. for this reason, hplc - uv–vis - esi qqq ms system was used. the compounds separated on a reverse phase phenyl column were detected spectrophotometrically at various wavelengths as well as by the use of mass spectrometer in the negative ion mode under various acquisition conditions. ms detection performed in the full\ncochineal was already used as a colour by the aztec and maya peoples of central and north america. cochineal was a commodity of much value, even comparable to gold. cities send bags of cochineal to the capital tenochtitlán as a yearly contribute to the emperor. the spanish conquerors of central america saw the value of the dye, which produced a much better colour than the dyes used in europe at the time. the dye, which at the time was mainly used in cosmetics and textiles and to a lesser extend in foods, became very popular in europe. roman catholic cardinals robes were coloured with cochineal, as were the jackets of the british military. cochineal was a highly prized product and was regularly traded on the london and amsterdam commodity exchanges. as its origins were not known to most europeans, the american colonists bought their cochineal from europe, instead directly from mexico ...\ncarmine (made from cochineal insects) is much more concentrated than the traditional red dyes of madder root, kermes, polish cochineal and brazilwood. it was in high demand throughout europe, coloring the fabrics of royalty, nobility, and church leaders. for several centuries it was the most important insect dye used in hand - woven oriental rugs. michelangelo used carmine in his paints, and the dye lent distinction to the uniforms of the british redcoats (shown here), the hussars, the turks and the royal canadian mounted police .\nin addition to dye for fabric, cochineal became widely used as a food coloring. cakes, cookies, beverages, jam, jelly, ice cream, sausages, pies, dried fish, yogurt, cider, maraschino cherries and tomato products were brightened with it as were chewing gum, pills and cough drops. cosmetic rouge was developed with cochineal as the main ingredient. but while ever more diverse uses were found for cochineal, it’s origin remained a mystery .\nthis is the name of an azo dye, e124, which bears no resemblance with cochineal, but produces a similar colour, hence the (confusing) name .\ncochineal extract is the concentrated solution obtained after removing the alcohol from an aqueous - alcoholic extract of the dried bodies of a female insect (coccus cactic l .) .\napart from grown dyes, medieval dyers used also local, wild - growing plants, fungi and lichens, and also insects. a widely known dye were the larvae of a local (poland, lithuania, parts of germany) insect called polish cochineal (polish carmine scale) (porphyrophora polonica v. cocus polonicus) that produced a beautiful, rich scarlet. it was exported since the early middle ages to many west european countries. another scale insect producing beautiful shades of scarlet was so called kermes (kermes vermillio), imported to the cities of northern europe from the mediterranean. the use of both these insects were gradually abandoned with introduction of imported cochineal. few centuries earlier no less important dye was tyrian purple, in the times of the roman empire produced from sea snails (murex trunculus, murex brandaris). it was the most expensive dye of the antiquity .\nwitness the beautiful life cycle of a polish cochineal (porphyrophora polonica) and its host plant, the knawel. both are rather unassuming, which helps them avoid predation. the cochineal doesn' t like to bring it, but if forced it will step up (meaning, be chewed thoroughly enough that it releases foul - tasting red liquids .) while bug flour may be the salvation for an overcrowded, resource - depleted world, these critters probably won' t be factor into any waffles or baguettes.

pigmente (aichstetten, germany) .\nhowever, because of health concerns over synthetic colorants and food additives, there is a renewed interest in natural dyes. some artists prefer to use natural dyes, creating a market for carmine oil paints and watercolors. production of cochineal dyes, known to be non - toxic and non - carcinogenic, has once more become viable for applications in medicine, food production, and cosmetics. cactus crops in mexico, guatemala, and the canary islands are in use as commercial cochineal production sites. a small number of people are allergic to cochineal, and react with anaphylactic shock symptoms .\nuntil the end of the 15th century, the richest red fabrics were dyed with kermes, lac dye and polish and armenian cochineal. these insect dyes were collected from plant roots and tree branches growing in certain parts of europe and asia, and they were traded between both continents, by way of major commercial routes, such as the silk road. thus, they travelled great distances to reach the main textile industries, where they were used to colour fine and expensive cloths, meant for the wealthy elites .\nfull citations for books: greenfield, amy butler, 2005, a perfect red, harper perennial, new york. cardon, dominique, 2007, natural dyes, archetype publications, london. gerber, frederick, 1978, cochineal and the insect dyes, ormond beach, fl. phipps, elena, 2010, cochineal red: the art history of a color, yale university press, new haven, ct .\nthe insects are killed by immersion in hot water (after which they are dried) or by exposure to sunlight, steam, or the heat of an oven. each method produces a different colour which results in the varied appearance of commercial cochineal. the insects must be dried to about 30 percent of their original body weight before they can be stored without decaying. it takes about 155, 000 insects to make one kilogram of cochineal .\na multidisciplinary investigation, combining history, textile objects from museum collections, and chemistry, aimed to explore the impact of cochineal as a commercial product in the global circulation of dyestuffs, and its importance in... more\nin this tutorial, it is described step -

uv–vis or hplc - esi ms / ms. however, they can be observed in the extracts only when mild isolation procedure (with addition of formic acid instead of previously used hydrochloric one) is carried out. particular attention has to be paid to pp6 (ppi ,\nthe aim of this study was to define compounds of porphyrophora polonica l. by hplc -

soluble colorants that resist degradation with time. it is the most light - and heat - stable and oxidation - resistant of all the natural colorants and is even more stable than some synthetic food colours .\napart from the aforementioned novel glycoside compounds, another constituent (co - eluted with pp15 at 27. 4 min) was found in the extract from polish cochineal. its [ m − h ] − ion at m / z 269 gives the ms / ms spectrum almost identical to that of flavokermesic acid, but does not consist of a signal corresponding to the loss of co 2. this similarity allowed its identification as deoxyerythrolaccin (doe, flavokermesic acid without the carboxylic group). this hypothesis seems to be justified by the fact that its o - glycosides (pp2, pp10, pp12, and pp13) are also identified in the extract .\nthe social meaning of textiles cannot be underestimated. all are created within a particular cultural context and reflect ways of thinking and acting on the materials available in that culture. in peru, the making of textiles extends into the deep past and cochineal (cochinilla) has been used in that cloth production since the nasca culture (ad 1 - 700), long before the inca created their brilliant red clothing. the center for traditional textiles of cusco is one peruvian weaving community still producing fine heritage textiles using local cochineal ,\nwith the introduction of commercial synthetic dyes in the late 19th century, the natural dye industry began to diminish. a process that involved the intensive manual labor of breeding the cochineal insects and handpicking them was no competition for laboratory production, which became increasingly inexpensive .\nexplore history once the spanish saw cochineal in the aztec plazas, they cornered the market and funded their empire on the backs of tiny scale insects. cochineal red spread from the americas to europe then to the middle east and textiles colored with this valuable dye can be found in collections all over the world. red was the color at the top of the heap, highly prized and its secrets protected. an in -

0. 5 centrifugal filter unit with ultracel - 3 membrane shut - off compounds above 3 kda (merck millipore ltd. , carrigtwohill, ireland). the obtained solution was analyzed as described above .\nana serrano developed a multidisciplinary phd project - combining history, textile objects from museum collections, and chemistry - to explore american cochineal’s long - distance trade between the 16th and the 18th centuries, as well as its impact in european and asian centres of textile production, in relation to traditional dyes .\nnatural red dyes have long been associated with power and extravagance, as they were expensive to acquire and the dyeing process was complex and required specialized knowledge. until the end of the 15th century, cochineal, kermes and lac insects were collected and traded throughout europe and asia. at the beginning of the 16th century, the castilians began exporting american cochineal from mexico, which was richer in colorant than the european and asian insects. this dyestuff became a great success in european and asian centres of textile production, and a lucrative commodity for the economy of the castilian empire throughout the colonial period. this phd project aims to take a closer look at the overall circulation of american cochineal as a commercial product and its dynamics in the process of revolutionizing ancient dyeing practices among 16th‐ and 18th‐century european and asian textile workshops. archlab access provided the opportunity to gain knowledge about the contents of th ...\nthe demand for cochineal fell sharply with the appearance on the market of alizarin crimson and many other artificial (food and textile) dyes discovered in europe in the middle of the 19 th century. trade in cochineal almost totally disappeared in the course of the 20 th century, but in recent years it has become commercially valuable again as many producers (and consumers) prefer natural colours over synthetic colours. however, most consumers are unaware that the ‘natural colouring e120' refers to a dye that is derived from an insect. it is thus not suitable for vegetarians and is banned by some religions .\nwiki user zyance approached this gaggle of giggling bugs on an opuntia cactus, their favorite gathering place. the matchhead -

ass tie - dyed shirts or a historical replica of a british army uniform. seriously: the red coats used to march into battle wearing cochineal - bug threads, and the robes of catholic cardinals were buggy, too. (uglyagnes / flickr )\nkermes insects (kermes vermillio, kermes palestinensis) are scale insects from the mediterranean region that are parasitic on several species of dryland oak shrubs. a brilliant red dye is extracted from the shell of the female insects, which huddle immobile in clusters on the wood. their use has been documented since ancient times, when this color was known as the “king’s red” and treasured as a painter’s pigment. the dye is made using kermesic acid, produced by the kermes insects. cochineal replaced kermes as the red dye of choice when it was brought back to europe from the “new world” of america. the dyes are comparable in color quality and intensity, but cochineal dye is 10 or 12 times as effective as the kermes dye .\nmost europeans thought it was extracted from berries or cereals because the dried insects looked like grains of wheat. this misconception was promoted by the spanish, who had launched a brutal cover - up of the dye making process as soon as they realized cochineal’s potential. many new world natives unfortunate enough to have chosen a career in red dye production were simply put to death .\nf or centuries europeans sought the perfect red dye, red being a color much valued and somewhat difficult to obtain. red could be obtained from various plant sources such as madder root and related alizarin - based dyestuffs. the other main source of red came from insects. the best of these insect sources was american cochineal, which provided the best intensity of color and was most readily available. 1 a similar insect dye was known in europe in the form of the kermes insect (kermes vermilio), a shield - louse that lives on the host tree kermes oak. in the later middle ages these insects were gathered commercially in several mediterranean countries and sold throughout europe. kermes dyes have been found in the ecclesiastical burial wrappings in fourteenth and fifteenth - century england, at baynards castle in the fourteenth - century layers, and in anglo - scandinavian york. kermes fell out of use with the introduction of cochineal in the sixteenth century due to the simple fact that, while the two dyes were comparable in quality and color intensity, ten to twelve times as much kermes was needed to produce the same effect as cochineal. 2\nlac insects produce a red dye very similar to those of the cochineal and kermes insects, but are also known for their production of a glassy resin processed to produce shellac. also scale insects, the laccifer lacca or kerria lacca insects secrete a resin to protect themselves between hatching and maturing into adults. they are found in huge colonies on a variety of trees in southeast asia .\nmethanol of lc / ms purity was purchased from poch (gliwice, poland), formic acid (> 99. 5 %) of lc / ms purity, from fisher scientific (fair lawn, nj, usa), and hydrochloric acid (35–38 %) of analytical grade, from applichem (darmstadt, germany). demineralized water was made using milli - q system model millipore elix 3 (molsheim, france). examined fibers were taken from seven polish textiles dated to the 17th–19th century and provided by ewa orlińska - mianowska from the textile division of the national museum in warsaw .\nbetween the end of the 15th century and beginning of the 16th, the portuguese and the spanish expanded their empires to the americas. this eventually led to the exploitation and export of local sources. for instance, while the portuguese soon dedicated to the exploitation of brazilwood, the spanish came to establish a monopoly in american cochineal that was of paramount value, ranking in price after silver and gold among exports to spain .\nthe female insects laid hundreds of eggs on the nopal plant and thirty - five to forty days later the young hatched and fed on the nopal for five months. these insects were then gathered and dried by laying them in the sun or heating them over a low fire. 8 the dried bodies of the insects were then crushed and used with a mordant, in particular tin - chloride, to produce the brilliant cochineal red. 9\nthe purities of cochineal extract, carmine, and ca reagent were evaluated by uplc - pda - esi - tof / ms analysis. we found three remarkable minor pigments in all the samples and these pigments were observed as consecutive peaks on chromatograms (fig. 2). the first and second peaks were identified as two isomers of ca, dciv and dcvii, respectively, by comparing with ms and nmr data reported previously. 13) in aqueous conditions, ca equilibrates with dciv and dcvii and ca is a major compound, since the c - glucose moiety in ca is a stable glucopyranose form, whereas dciv and dcvii are unstable glucofranose forms. a kinetic study using purified dciv and dcvii previously revealed the equilibrium state between ca, dcvi, and dcvii in aqueous conditions. 15) thus, these two isomers (dciv and dcvii) are constitutive minor components of cochineal samples .\ncarmine (derived from cochineal) is used to color food and drinks red. carmine can be found in food such as meat, sausages, processed poultry products (meat products cannot be colored in the united states unless they are labeled as such), bakery products, cookies, desserts, icings, pie fillings, jams, preserves, gelatin desserts, juice beverages, varieties of cheddar cheese, yogurts, ice - cream and other dairy products, sauces and sweets .\nultimately, this has contributed to achieve an unparalleled view of the global circulation of american cochineal in the early modern world, as well as unique perspectives about its overall impact in european and asian dyeing traditions and patterns of consumption of red dye sources. indeed, it became clear that a gradual but clear adoption of this insect dye in europe and in west asia occurred, while local insect dyes kept a representative role in on - going practices, especially in east and southeast asia .\ndye technique various techniques work for the dyeing of materials using cochineal. my favorite method is to grind the dried bugs in a small coffee grinder dedicated to dye materials. weigh the required amount to get the desired shade. boil the ground dye matter for 15 minutes and add a pinch of cream of tartar. strain the liquid into a dyepot. repeat two more times without the cream of tartar, adding water as needed and pouring dye liquid from each boil into the dyepot. this may seem like a lot of work, but will extract the most dye from your precious stash of bugs. add fibers to the dyepot and simmer for at least 30 minutes. leave in the dye bath to cool. this bath can be used repeatedly until the water is clear. water is key in this process. cochineal is extremely sensitive to chemicals in the water. try one bath with your tap water to see the results. clear reds can usually be obtained by using distilled water, including rinsing in distilled water. as with all natural dyeing, experimentation will be your guide."

oryzorictinae: oryzorictes, limnogale and microgale; geogalinae: geogale). the diversity of their morphology and incomplete taxon sampling made it difficult until now to resolve phylogenies based on either morphology or molecular data for this group. therefore, in order to delineate the evolutionary history of this family, phylogenetic and dating analyses were performed on a four nuclear genes dataset (adra2b, ar, ghr and vwf) including all malagasy tenrec genera. moreover, the influence of both taxon sampling and data partitioning on the accuracy of the estimated ages were assessed .\nwho are tenrecs related to? because the body shapes of several of the tenrec species resemble hedgehogs and shrews, people thought that tenrecs were related to these groups. scientists now think that this is wrong. by building family trees of mammal groups using genetic material, scientists now think that some of the closest relatives of tenrecs are elephants, aardvarks, and manatees !\nthis species is reported to be common on madagascar, and is not generally believed to be in need of special conservation efforts. introduced rats (genus rattus) may compete with the common tenrec in some circumstances. the iucn rates the species as being of\nleast concern ,\nit' s lowest category, and the species is not listed in the cites treaty .\nhow did this weird group of animals evolve into so many different body shapes and lifestyles? part of what explains the many different kinds of tenrecs is where they live. most tenrec species live on the island of madagascar where they have been for millions of years. dr. p. j. stephenson is a tenrec expert. he explains what happened once the tenrecs arrived in madagascar: “when tenrecs arrived (probably by rafting on logs or floating vegetation) there were no mammals so they evolved to fill many of the available niches. rodents don’t compete directly as they don’t feed on the same things. ” a niche is the way of life of an animal, what it eats and where it lives. in most habitats there are many different kinds of animals that compete for the same kind of niche. when the ancestor of the tenrec arrived on madagascar millions of years ago though there were few mammals to compete with the tenrecs. the tenrecs evolved to take over many different niches that they probably could not have if they had to compete with rodents, moles, shrews, hedgehogs, and other species .\nit is found in all natural forest formations and plantations, farmlands, secondary open wooded grasslands, and has even been recorded from urban centres. the largest tenrec species weighing up to 2 kg. it is omnivorous and enters seasonal torpor. this species has the highest reproductive potential of any mammal; the female gives birth to up to 32 young and may breed twice per year .\nis generally found near water sources in areas with ample brush and undergrowth for cover. it seems to be equally common in inland plateaus and coastal humid forests throughout madagascar, but it is absent in the arid southwestern districts. generally, the common tenrec is found in the eastern rainforests and in the gallery forests that border the river systems of the west. these animals are very common near paddy fields .\n]. these two studies found two different results concerning its phylogenetic position. the first study, comprising three mitochondrial genes (nd2, 12s rrna and trnavaline) and one nuclear marker (vwf exon 28), displayed, in a parsimony framework, the large - eared tenrec as the most basal of all malagasy tenrecs. this result was not influenced by the inclusion of morphological characters in the analyses. asher and hofreiter [\nwithin afrotheria the vast majority of the nodes received a high support, including the grouping of hyrax with sea cow and the monophyly of both afroinsectivora (macroscelidea + afrosoricida) and afroinsectiphillia (tubulidentata + afroinsectivora). strongly supported relationships were also recovered among all tenrec genera, allowing us to firmly establish the grouping of geogale with oryzorictinae, and to confirm the previously hypothesized nesting of limnogale within the genus microgale. the timeline of malagasy tenrec diversification does not reflect a fast adaptive radiation after the arrival on madagascar, indicating that morphological specializations have appeared over the whole evolutionary history of the family, and not just in a short period after colonization. in our analysis, age estimates at the root of a clade became older with increased taxon sampling of that clade. moreover an augmentation of data partitions resulted in older age estimates as well, whereas standard deviations increased when more extreme partition schemes were used .\nthe burrows of the common tenrec are usually near streams and are of two distict types. a hibernating burrow is between one and two meters long. the single entrance is plugged with soil during the period of torpor. the burrows of active common tenrecs are quite different; a y - shaped opening provides two open exit routes. the burrows serve the animals as buffers to extreme temperatures. tenrecs hibernate during the dry autumn months of may through september, when resources are limited. during this period of torpor, their bodies are cold to the touch .\nis one of the largest living insectivores. head and body length ranges from 265 to 390 mm. the coloration of the common tenrec varies geographically from grey - brown to red - brown. pelage is not dense and is a combination of hairs and blunt spines. the young have rows of white spines in longitudinal rows along their backs; these are replaced in the adult by a mane of stiff long hairs. the forelimbs are longer than the hindlimbs. the skull is cylindrical and the snout elongated. females generally have 12 nipples, but up to 29 have been recorded .\nks (i. e. , number of synonymous substitutions per synonymous site) are given in the lower left part of the table and ka (i. e. , number of nonsynonymous substitutions per nonsynonymous site) in the upper right part. the divergence between the two geogale ghr sequences (underligned) is greater than or equal to that between some other tenrec species (bold). geogale a is the sequence from the database (acc. nr. : dq202287), geogale b is our sequence. hemicent. stands for hemicentetes, and m. brevi. for microgale brevicaudata .\nwhen threatened or angered the common tenrec erects the ridge of long hairs on its back and vocalizes with hisses, squeaks, squeals, and\npiff\nsounds. if an animal is surprised in its nest it will display its truly enormous gape. if startled in the open it can run quickly to cover. disturbed young tenrecs produce an audible alarm signal through a process called stridulation, in which bristles on the midback are rubbed together. hearing this sound may cause littermates to scatter and run. stridulation may also help the young to locate one another or the mother to locate her young .\ntiming of tenrec speciation events and madagascar colonization. tree topology as in figure 1. divergence times were estimated from the concatenated dataset by a bayesian relaxed molecular clock method, with six time constraints from fossil calibrations (see material and methods). one of them, the paenungulate radiation is represented on the chronogram. black circles indicate the divergence from the non - malagasy sister group (node 2) and the initial divergence of malagasy tenrecs (node 3). standard deviations are indicated by grey bars, and 95% credibility intervals by open bars. the period of a putative land bridge between madagascar and africa at 45–26 mya [ 53 ] is shaded .\nthe complete phylogeny of the malagasy tenrec genera has now been resolved with strong support. these results should lead to a revision of the taxonomy with regard to the genus geogale (if it comprises more than one species) and the limnogale / microgale clade (if this last genus is truly paraphyletic). this solid phylogenetic and dating framework shows that the major morphological specializations of the tenrecs are not the result of fast adaptive radiations just after colonization, but would as well have been affected by ecological changes caused by climatic and / or subsequent colonization events; however, more work is still needed to understand the role of possible biotic interactions on the speciation processes of malagasy tenrecs .\njaws of tenrec ecaudatus in lateral view. these images demonstrate how adult size in an afrotherian may be reached in the absence of many permanent cheek tooth loci. the old individual above has its complete permanent dentition erupted, showing p4 - m2 worn down to their roots (umzc h5431j, image reversed). the individual below is larger, but retains its deciduous canine through dp4; their permanent successors plus m3 are still unerupted within the dentary (bmnh 70. 3. 10. 4). scale bar (in millimeters) applies to both specimens. the dotted line from the condyle to symphysis on the top specimen represents measure taken of maximum jaw length, quantified in figure 2 .\n]. our data also support these results, as the afrosoricida / macroscelidea clade (= afroinsectivora) is displayed with high confidence (pp = 1. 00 and bp = 93), and tubulidentata is found to be the sister group of this clade (pp = 1. 00 and bp = 95). with a smaller dataset (only one tenrec) the support for the afrosoricida / macroscelidea clade slightly increased (pp = 1. 00 and bp = 96). hence, enlarged taxon sampling cannot explain our strong phylogenetic results within the afrotherian clade. all four genes separately displayed afroinsectiphillia either as paraphyletic or weakly supported therefore the present results are not due to gene sampling biases. the retroposon analyses of nishihara et al.

(1998) named afrosoricida. this name is inappropriate since this clade does not include soricids, and could lead to confusion with the soricid subgenus afrosorex hutterer, 1986. noting that tenrecomorpha butler, 1972 may be a prior, and more explicit name for this clade following simpson’s (1945) guidelines for naming superfamial taxa, bronner et al. (2003) nevertheless accepted afrosoricida because this name is entrenched in the recent literature .\nfollowing simpson (1931), the term\ntenrecoid\nhas also been widely misused as a general name for a vaguely defined grouping of (extinct and extant) taxa characterized by zalambdodonty, even though it has become clear that some of these were not technically zalambdodont, and that zalambdodonty may have arisen independently several times (e. g. broom, 1916). this further militates against its stricter nomenclatorial use, even at taxonomic ranks below order .\nthe supraordinal affiliation of the afrosoricida remains controversial. molecular data strongly support an affinity within the afrotheria, whereas morphological data suggest a closer relationship to lipotyphlans. lipotyphlan monophyly, however, is only weakly supported by cladistic analyses of morphological data (asher, 1999) and phylogenetic analyses of combined anatomical and molecular data strongly support the inclusion of afrosoricids within afrotheria (asher et al. , 2003) .\nmammal species of the world: a taxonomic and geographic reference (book, 2005) [ worldcat. org ]\nyour web browser is not enabled for javascript. some features of worldcat will not be available .\nyour list has reached the maximum number of items. please create a new list with a new name;

the features identified here as possible afrotherian synapomorphies can be further scrutinized through future phylogenetic analyses with broader taxon sampling, as well as recovery of primitive fossil afrotherians from the afro - arabian landmass, where the group is likely to have first diversified .\n], but morphological phylogenetic analyses of the placental mammal radiation continue to favor afrotherian polyphyly [ e. g. , [\n], whereas afrosoricids – which were formerly placed in the order lipotyphla alongside hedgehogs, shrews, moles, and solenodons (now eulipotyphla) – share a number of seemingly primitive morphological features with eulipotyphlans and cretaceous stem placentals. phylogenetic analyses of the longest available concatenation of afrotherian dna sequences [\nanother outstanding problem in afrotherian phylogenetics is the branching order among hyracoidea, proboscidea and sirenia within paenungulata. various types of genomic data have been collected in an effort to resolve paenungulate relationships [\n] that suggest an early preference for semi - aquatic habitus. if tethytheria is monophyletic, this adaptive pattern is best explained as having been due to common ancestry, whereas if the group is paraphyletic, semi - aquatic habitus either evolved convergently in early proboscideans and sirenians, or was an ancestral feature of paenungulata as a whole .\n] that otherwise might attract due to homoplasy rather than homology. the only recent phylogenetic analysis to have scored members of all extant afrotherian orders included only two undoubted fossil afrotherians, however, both of which were extinct paenungulates [\n], and which recovered a macroscelidean - paenungulate clade to the exclusion of perissodactyls and artiodactyls, did not sample aardvarks, tenrecs and golden moles, which lack some or all of the features that support the macroscelidean - paenungulate clade recovered in that study .\n] to create the single largest phylogenetic data set (at least 4, 590 parsimony informative characters) that has yet been brought to bear on the interrelationships of living and extinct afrotherians. included in the morphological partition are new data on recently published afrotherian fossil material from the paleogene of north africa [\n] as well as undescribed late eocene hyracoids, macroscelideans, and afrosoricids from egypt. parsimony analysis of these data reveals a new hypothesis of relationships within afrotheria, and highlights a central role for paleogene\nelephant - shrews\nin afrotherian phylogenetics .\nregardless of how morphological characters were treated [ i. e. , with selected multistate characters either unordered (= ua, unordered analysis), or ordered and scaled (= osa, ordered and scaled analysis) ], simultaneous analysis of extant taxa alone recovered paenungulata, tethytheria, a macroscelidea - tubulidentata clade, and a macroscelidea - tubulidentata - paenungulata clade to the exclusion of afrosoricida (fig .\n). aside from monophyly of paenungulata, these results are at odds with the relationships recovered by amrine - madsen et al. [\n], although among these supraordinal clades only paenungulata had high bootstrap support (fig .\n). with afrosoricida placed as the sister group of all other afrotherians, there was only one unambiguously optimized morphological synapomorphy of afrotheria in the osa (placement of the root of the zygomatic lateral to m3), none in the ua, but 24 (ua) to 30 (osa) ambiguous morphological synapomorphies of that clade. the macroscelidea - tubulidentata - paenungulata clade was supported by 69 (osa) to 71 (ua) ambiguously and 22 (ua) to 26 (osa) unambiguously optimized morphological synapomorphies .\nestimate of afrotherian interordinal phylogeny based on data from extant taxa alone. strict consensus of results from parsimony analyses of extant taxa only with all characters unordered (1 most parsimonious tree (mpt), tree length (tl) = 18428, consistency index (ci) = 0. 52, retention index (ri) = 0. 39, rescaled consistency index (rci) = 0. 26) and with some multistate characters ordered and scaled (1 mpt, tl = 18068, ci = 0. 52, ri = 0. 39, rci = 0. 26). intraordinal relationships are not shown, but in both trees are as in fig. 2. numbers above and below branches are bootstrap support values (1000 replicates) from analysis of the matrix with some multistate characters ordered and scaled (above) and with all multistate characters unordered (below) .\nphylogenetic relationships of living and extinct afrotherians. adams consensus tree summarizing results from parsimony analyses with all characters unordered (12 mpts, tl = 19478, ci = 0. 50, ri = 0. 44, rci = 0. 28) and with some morphological characters ordered and scaled (1 mpt, tl = 18689. 54, ci = 0. 50, ri = 0. 44, rci = 0. 28). branches depicted with dashes break down in the strict consensus of all 13 trees. values above and below branches are bootstrap support (1000 replicates) from analysis of the matrix with some multistate characters ordered and scaled (above) and with all multistate characters unordered (below). herodotiine taxa (alleged stem macroscelideans) are in bold face;

nor could the alternative arrangement of a monophyletic afroinsectiphillia containing afroinsectivora (table\n). none of the three possible arrangements of the paenungulate orders were either well supported or rejected by statistical tests, and even afrosoricid diphyly (e. g. , with either tenrecoidea or chrysochloridae placed as the sister taxon of macroscelidea) could not be rejected (table\n' s placement as a stem sirenian in the present analysis. deletion of basal eocene taxa, such as the herodotiines\nstatistics for most parsimonious trees derived from analyses that were constrained to agree with alternative phylogenetic hypotheses. consistency index excludes uninformative characters. value for templeton test (p, calculated in paup 4. 0b10) is the probability of finding a more extreme t - value under the null hypothesis of no difference between the two trees (two - tailed test), arbitrarily calculated by comparing the first tree in each of the two alternative tree lists. results in bold are those that are present in the adams consensus of all equally parsimonious trees. os = ordered and scaled analysis; u = unordered analysis; na = not applicable .\ninterordinal relationships within afrotheria from (above) analyses constrained to agree with the alternative hypotheses exafroplacentalia (afrotheria, (boreoeutheria, xenarthra) ) and atlantogenata (boreoeutheria, (afrotheria, xenarthra) ), and (below) analyses run following deletion or addition of various extinct taxa. results followed by an asterisk are those that occur in the adams consensus of all equally parsimonious trees (the strict consensus of which was less resolved than the optimal topologies based on analyses including all taxa). os = ordered and scaled analysis;

under delayed transformation, there are four unambiguous synapomorphies of afrotheria regardless of how multistate characters are treated (presence of a naviculocalcaneal facet, scattered vomeronasal organ blood vessels [\n]). an additional four features [ presence of a small p3 protocone, presence of well - developed buccal cingula rather than stylar shelves, increase in lumbar vertebra number from 6 to 8, and testicondy (intrabdominal testes) ] emerge as unambiguous synapomorphies depending on treatment of certain multistate characters. under accelerated transformation, there are no unambiguous afrotherian synapomorphies, but there are 31 (osa) and 33 (ua) ambiguous synapomorphies of that clade .\ngiven that there can be little confidence in any of the proposed arrangements of afrosoricida, macroscelidea, or tubulidentata within afrotheria, an alternative, and perhaps more conservative, approach is to optimize characters onto an afrotherian phylogeny that is less resolved at the supraordinal level. with macroscelidea, tubulidentata, afrosoricida, and\n). of these characters, nine are congruently optimized as afrotherian synapomorphies regardless of how transformations are optimized (accelerated or delayed) or how multistate characters are treated (ordered and scaled or unordered) .\ncharacter state changes identified as unambiguous morphological synapomorphies of afrotheria when relationships among afrosoricida, macroscelidea, paenungulata, and tubulidentata are depicted as unresolved. osa _ at = ordered and scaled analysis, accelerated transformation; osa _ dt = ordered and scaled analysis, delayed transformation; ua _ at = unordered analysis, accelerated transformation; ua _ dt = unordered analysis, delayed transformation .\nthe instability of afrotherian interordinal relationships is remarkable given that all of the analyses performed here included at least 4, 590 parsimony informative molecular and morphological characters. molecular divergence estimates clearly indicate that cladogenesis among the stem lineages of tubulidentata, macroscelidea, afrosoricida, and paenungulata occurred rapidly, and probably in the latest cretaceous; according to the recent estimates provided by murphy et al. [\n], these clades had all diverged within the first 5 million years of crown afrotherian evolution. morphological evidence for these supraordinal divergences either did not accumulate along these short internal branches, or was subsequently\nerased\nby evolution along the much longer branches leading to ordinal crown clades .\nconsiderable ambiguity is introduced by missing data and different methods for optimizing character states onto slightly different afrotherian phylogenies, but it remains distinctly possible that there are a number of morphological synapomorphies of crown afrotheria, and that the ancestral crown afrotherian more closely resembled a\nproto - ungulate\nthan an\ninsectivore\n. for instance, some of the only character transformations that consistently optimized unambiguously onto the afrotherian stem on the less resolved tree (table\n. with characters unordered, the ancestral afrotherian is also reconstructed as having no parastyles and well - developed buccal cingula rather than stylar shelves, which again suggests that afrosoricids (which do have parastyles and stylar shelves) have undergone reversals to the dental character states observable in more primitive cretaceous placentals .\n) is placed in afroinsectivora with macroscelideans. herodotiine diphyly is probably an artifact of missing data, but the distribution of herodotiines on both sides of the afrotherian tree again lends some support to the idea that the paenungulate - like dental morphology of herodotiines may be primitive within afrotheria. the most likely explanation for herodotiine diphyly is that, in known parts ,\nhas somewhat paenungulate - like anterior premolars and incisors (personal observation). if some uniformity of herodotiine morphology is assumed and\nare assigned the character states of the herodotiine taxon that preserves those parts, then these taxa together join tubulidentata (osa) or pseudoungulata (ua adams consensus), but never macroscelidea, in parsimony analyses of the data set presented here. additional cranial or postcranial morphology of herodotiines should play a key role in future efforts to tease apart homology and homoplasy among early afrotherians: if herodotiines are in fact stem macroscelideans within afroinsectivora, then their detailed dental resemblances to paenungulates will either not be present in older and more primitive stem macroscelideans, or these features will emerge as plesiomorphic within afroinsectivora and afrotheria and will support a proto - ungulate origin for both clades .\nof the remaining morphological features that support afrotherian monophyly on the less resolved tree, none clearly point to either a\nproto - ungulate\nor\ninsectivore\norigin for the clade. under delayed transformation, at least one morphological feature that was previously thought to be a synapomorphy of paenungulata (loss of lunar - unciform contact) [\n] instead appears as a synapomorphy of afrotheria as a whole. other features that have already been identified as probable afrotherian synapomorphies, such as increased lumbar vertebral number [\n] also optimize unambiguously as afrotherian synapomorphies across all or most assumption sets. presence of a contact between the navicular and calcaneus, which occurs in proboscideans ,\n, and aardvarks as well as some macroscelideans, tenrecs, golden moles, and fossil hyracoids, is here identified for the first time as another possible morphological synapomorphy of crown afrotheria .\nthere are a few obvious deficiencies of the present study, some of which should be improved upon in future analyses. one obvious improvement that can be made is greater taxon sampling within placentalia (and mammalia more broadly), including a greater diversity of cretaceous mammals, as all such taxa should help to clarify ancestral character states for crown placentalia. one obvious criticism of the equally - weighted total evidence approach taken here is that\nrare genomic changes\n( rgcs) such as retroposons and chromosomal syntenies have been given equal weight to point mutations in dna sequences, the latter of which are surely much more prone to homoplasy [\n]. unfortunately there is no clear solution to this practical problem aside from arbitrary weighting of rgcs – which, in the absence of a strong theoretical framework for predicting the relative likelihood of, for instance, chromosomal rearrangements relative to point mutations, is here considered to be an untenable approach. the same criticism can certainly also be raised regarding delimitation and treatment of morphological characters (many of which may be of low phylogenetic utility), however the same problem holds [\n]; thus far, however, bayesian analyses of the current data set have failed to achieve convergence despite considerable computational effort, presumably due in large part to the numerous genomic and morphological characters missing in fossil taxa .\nsimultaneous analysis of ≤ 4, 590 parsimony informative genomic and morphological characters scored across 16 extant and 35 extinct afrotherians recovers a monophyletic afroinsectivora (afrosoricida + macroscelidea), pseudoungulata (tubulidentata + paenungulata), and tethytheria (proboscidea + sirenia) within paenungulata. none of these supraordinal clades are well - supported, however, and phylogenetic alternatives such as afroinsectiphillia, a (paenungulata, (macroscelidea, tubulidentata) ) clade, an afrosoricida - tubulidentata clade, afrosoricid diphyly, a hyracoidea - proboscidea clade, and a hyracoidea - sirenia could not be statistically rejected .\ndivergences among afrosoricida, macroscelidea, paenungulata, and tubulidentata must have occurred very rapidly in the late cretaceous, and unambiguous morphological evidence for afrotherian supraordinal clades aside from paenungulata either does not exist or has been overwritten by subsequent evolution through the cenozoic. on the optimal topologies derived from these analyses, identification of unambiguous morphological support for afrotherian monophyly is dependent on optimization method, but on a less resolved interordinal phylogeny a total of 21 unambiguous afrotherian synapomorphies are identified, 9 of which appear as such across all character treatments and optimization methods."

Dataset Curation
Original Curation
Original Curation Rationale
The dataset is a subset of the WikiSum (Liu et al., 2018) dataset focusing on summaries of entities in three domains (Film, Company, and Animal). It is multi-document summarisation where input-output pairs for each example entity are created as follows. The input is a set of paragraphs collected from i) documents in the Reference section of the entity's Wikipedia page plus ii) documents collected from the top ten search results after querying Google search engine with the entity name. The output summary is the Wikipedia abstract for the entity.
Communicative Goal
Generate descriptive summaries with specific domains, where certain topics are discussed and generally in specific orders.
Sourced from Different Sources
yes
