Among the species belonging to this subfamily, Dinaromys bogdanovi is one of the species with an unclear phylogenetic position. Paleontologists have traditionally compared and related its molars to the extinct Pliomys, whose geologically youngest fossil representative, Pliomys lenki, persisted until the Late Pleistocene. Although both genera have been morphologically related, there has always been discussion about when these genera should have separated. In this paper, we use ancient DNA data from Pliomys lenki to demonstrate the phylogenetic relationship between Dinaromys and Pliomys, forming the tribe Pliomyini. Additionally, we propose an evolutionary model of the Pliomyini tribe, placing the separation Dinaromys/Pliomys around 3.8 Ma (2.6-4.9 Ma). info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E18-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIU/FPU20-02031 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-AEI-FEDER/PGC2018-093925-B-C33 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 1.5 2024 PALEONTOLOGY 28 / 57 = 0.491 2024 Q2 T2 0.617 2024 Paleontology 2024 Q2 Oceanography 2024 Q2 2.6 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Lira-Garrido, Jaime Cuenca-Bescós, Gloria Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5125-9651 Pons, Joan Bover, Pere (orcid)0000-0003-2942-2840 2000 655 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
