Cursorial Adaptations in the Forelimb of the Giant Short-Faced Bear, <em>Arctodus simus</em>, Revealed by Traditional and 3D Landmark Morphometrics
… North American giant short-faced bear, <i>Arctodus simus</i>, has eluded paleontologists for decades. Its more gracile form has led past researchers to myriad intepretations of the locomotion and feeding ecology of this species. While earlier studies have focused on craniodental morphology …

Phylogenetic inference using ancient environmental DNA
… Ursus arctos or the American black bear and Arctodus simus or the extinct giant short-faced bear. By comparing the ancient sequence against a modern reference panel of black bears and a high-quality fossil giant short-faced bear reference, I infer evolutionary relationships between the Late …

Mitochondrial DNA analysis of the evolution and genetic diversity of ancient and extinct bears.
… of the extinct giant short-faced bear (Arctodus simus) in North America was undertaken (Chapter 6) to provide a comparison with the dynamic phylogeographic history of contemporaneous Beringian brown bears (Barnes et al., 2002). Additionally, the deeper evolutionary history of the extinct …
