Nonetheless, questions about the connectivity and temporal continuity of mammoth populations and species remain unanswered. We use a combination of targeted enrichment and high-throughput sequencing to assemble and interpret a data set of 143 mammoth mitochondrial genomes, sampled from fossils recovered from across their Holarctic range. Our dataset includes 54 previously unpublished mitochondrial genomes and significantly increases the coverage of the Eurasian range of the species. The resulting global phylogeny confirms that the Late Pleistocene mammoth population comprised three distinct mitochondrial lineages that began to diverge ~1.0-2.0 million years ago (Ma). We also find that mammoth mitochondrial lineages were strongly geographically partitioned throughout the Pleistocene. In combination, our genetic results and the pattern of morphological variation in time and space suggest that male-mediated gene flow, rather than large-scale dispersals, was important in the Pleistocene evolutionary history of mammoths.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FitschenBruehlRathgeberetal.2019, author = {Fitschen, Thomas and Br{\"u}hl, Tanja and Rathgeber, Theodor and H{\"u}fner, Klaus and Bloch, Yanina and Volger, Helmut}, title = {Herausforderungen f{\"u}r die gegenw{\"a}rtige deutsche UN-Politik}, series = {Potsdamer UNO-Konferenzen}, booktitle = {Potsdamer UNO-Konferenzen}, number = {13}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-455-5}, issn = {1617-4704}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-42615}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-426154}, pages = {123}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Am 30. Juni 2018 fand die vierzehnte Konferenz des Forschungskreises ­Vereinte Nationen zum Thema „Herausforderungen f{\"u}r die gegenw{\"a}rtige deutsche UN-Politik" statt.

Tanja Br{\"u}hl nimmt hierzu eine Gesamtbetrachtung der deutschen UN-Politik aus rollentheoretischer Sicht vor, w{\"a}hrend Theodor Rathgeber die deutsche Menschenrechtspolitik angesichts der im UN-Menschenrechtsrat bestehenden Herausforderungen untersucht. Der Band enth{\"a}lt drei weitere Texte, die Forschungsergebnisse zu aktuellen Entwicklungen pr{\"a}sentieren. Klaus H{\"u}fner er{\"o}rtert das aktuelle finanzielle Engagement Deutschlands in den Vereinten Nationen. Yanina Bloch zieht eine Bilanz nach den ersten acht Jahren der T{\"a}tigkeit von UN Women. Helmut Volger analysiert neue Fortschritte bei der Reform der Arbeitsmethoden des UN-Sicherheitsrates.}, language = {de} }
