Talk:Caprinae

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Nadler (1997) proposed that Pseudonovibos spiralis is a member of the subfamily Caprinae related to Caprini sensu lato, based on morphological analysis. This point of view was supported by the DNA analysis of Hammer et. al. (1999). However, the supposedly authentic DNA sequence reported by Hammer et. al. (1999) was shown by Hassanin and Douzery (2000) to be the result of DNA contamination by the chamois (Rupicapra spp.). Pseudonovibos now appears to be a member of the tribe Bovini, related to cattle and buffaloes (Brandt. et. al., 2001; Dioli, 1997; Kuznetsov et. al., 2001a, 2001b, 2002; Peter and Feiler, 1994; Timm & Brandt, 2001). MacDonald and Yang (1997) examined Chinese sources that provide early recognition of P. spiralis.
