ABSTRACT Marine mammal fossils (except pinnipeds) have commonly been found in Pliocene marine siliciclastic layers of the Neogene Guadalquivir Basin in Southwest Spain. A few Neogene phocid innominate bones are known from the Western Paratethys and Western Atlantic. Here we describe a new innominate bone from the early Pliocene (5.3–3.6 Ma) of the Western Paratethys (Spain), which is typical of the subfamily Monachinae, and has a flattened ilium similar to representatives of the tribe Lobodontini, particularly Leptonychotes weddellii. Comparison with other fossil monachine innominates from North America, South America and South Africa reveals that this specimen represents the genus Homiphoca, but species classification remains premature. This is the first European record of the genus Homiphoca and has paleobiogeographic implications, questioning the geological age of the Varswater Formation ‘E’ Quarry, Langebaanweg, Cape Province of South Africa. This discovery from the eastern North Atlantic further implies a more regular transatlantic gene flow in Miocene and Pliocene times than today. We argue that during the Messinian-Zanclean crisis, monachines became isolated and retreated southward to lower latitudes, possibly due to climatic deterioration (during glacial stages) and competition from the cold-adapted phocines from the north.

Homiphoca(Phocidae:Monachinae:Lobodontini)的第一个欧洲记录及其与该属古生物地理学的关系

摘要 海洋哺乳动物化石(鳍足类除外)普遍存在于西班牙西南部新近纪瓜达尔基维尔盆地的上新世海洋硅质碎屑层中。一些新近纪 phocid 无名骨已知来自西帕特提斯和西大西洋。在这里,我们描述了来自西帕特提斯(西班牙)的上新世早期(5.3-3.6 Ma)的一种新的无名骨,它是 Monachinae 亚科的典型特征,并且具有类似于 Lobodontini 部落代表的扁平髂骨,尤其是 Leptonychotes weddellii。与来自北美、南美和南非的其他化石莫纳奇的比较表明,该标本代表 Homiphoca 属,但物种分类仍为时过早。这是 Homiphoca 属的第一个欧洲记录,具有古生物地理意义,质疑南非开普省 Langebaanweg 的 Varswater 组“E”采石场的地质年代。这一来自北大西洋东部的发现进一步暗示了中新世和上新世比今天更规律的跨大西洋基因流动。我们认为,在 Messinian-Zanclean 危机期间,monachines 变得孤立并向南撤退到低纬度地区,这可能是由于气候恶化(在冰川阶段)和来自北方的适应寒冷的 phocines 的竞争。缩写:NMNH:国家自然历史博物馆,史密森学会,华盛顿特区,美国;CMM:卡尔弗特海洋博物馆,所罗门群岛,马里兰州(美国);UTM:通用横轴墨卡托坐标系 这一来自北大西洋东部的发现进一步暗示了中新世和上新世比今天更规律的跨大西洋基因流动。我们认为,在 Messinian-Zanclean 危机期间,monachines 变得孤立并向南撤退到低纬度地区,这可能是由于气候恶化(在冰川阶段)和来自北方的适应寒冷的 phocines 的竞争。缩写:NMNH:国家自然历史博物馆,史密森学会,华盛顿特区,美国;CMM:卡尔弗特海洋博物馆,所罗门群岛,马里兰州(美国);UTM:通用横轴墨卡托坐标系 这一来自北大西洋东部的发现进一步暗示了中新世和上新世比今天更规律的跨大西洋基因流动。我们认为,在 Messinian-Zanclean 危机期间,monachines 变得孤立并向南撤退到低纬度地区,这可能是由于气候恶化(在冰川阶段)和来自北方的适应寒冷的 phocines 的竞争。缩写:NMNH:国家自然历史博物馆,史密森学会,华盛顿特区,美国;CMM:卡尔弗特海洋博物馆,所罗门群岛,马里兰州(美国);UTM:通用横轴墨卡托坐标系 可能是由于气候恶化(在冰川阶段)和来自北方的适应寒冷的 phocines 的竞争。缩写:NMNH:国家自然历史博物馆,史密森学会,华盛顿特区,美国;CMM:卡尔弗特海洋博物馆,所罗门群岛,马里兰州(美国);UTM:通用横轴墨卡托坐标系 可能是由于气候恶化(在冰川阶段)和来自北方的适应寒冷的 phocines 的竞争。缩写:NMNH:国家自然历史博物馆,史密森学会,华盛顿特区,美国;CMM:卡尔弗特海洋博物馆,所罗门群岛,马里兰州(美国);UTM:通用横轴墨卡托坐标系
