“…Eomellivora is a giant and hypercarnivorous mustelid genus recorded from the Miocene of Eurasia (Wolsan and Semenov, 1996; and North America (Baskin 1988). Wolsan and Semenov (1996) distinguished a single species of Eomellivora (the nominotypical one) with two distinct (Vallesian and Turolian) chronosubspecies.…”

Eomellivora is a large-bodied mellivorine mustelid genus widely distributed throughout Eurasia and North America during the late Miocene (MN9-MN13). Here, we report the oldest Eurasian material of Eomellivora based on a palate and two mandibular fragments from ACM/PTA-A2, a pre-Vallesian (11.21 Ma; latest MN7+8) locality of Abocador de Can Mata (Vallès-Penedès Basin, NE Iberian Peninsula) that slightly predates the first appearance datum of Hippotherium by ~30 kyr. The described material differs from Hoplictis helbingi-another large mustelid recorded within the same basin in the roughly coeval site of Castell de Barberà (~11.2, earliest MN9)-and more closely resembles Eomellivora spp.Despite closer resemblances in both size and dental shape with the Vallesian (MN9-MN10) species Eomellivora piveteaui, the ACM material differs from multiple features that may be considered plesiomorphic. A new species, Eomellivora moralesi sp. nov., is thus erected based on the described material. A cladistic analysis confirms that the new species occupies a basal-most position within the Eomellivora clade, in agreement with its older age and more plesiomorphic morphology.

“…This article (Article 21) was prepared over the subsequent months and submitted to the CPN for discussion. In the course of the discussion, Mieczyslaw Wolsan, a member of the CPN, made an alternative proposal ("Method T" in Wolsan, 2007b). Wolsan's proposal differs from the one presented here in only one way: a species name adopted in the context of phylogenetic nomenclature would take the form of the oldest potentially valid (ICZN) or legitimate (ICBN, BC) species binomen (generally the original combination) and would be permanently fixed.…”

“…A number of initial proposals on how to treat species names in the light of phylogenetic taxonomy have been presented in the literature (de Schander and Thollesson 1995;Cantino 1998;Cantino et al 1999;Rouse 2000, 2003;Artois 2001;Hillis et al 2001;Dayrat et al 2004;Dayrat 2005;Wolsan 2007;). These approaches worry primarily about how to convert traditional binomials into rank-free names that could be used in phylogenetic nomenclature.…”

“…A series of expedients to avoid name duplication were explored, using a combination of names followed by sequential numbers, registration numbers, etc. (see a full list of proposals in Cantino et al 1999;Artois 2001;Wolsan 2007).…”

where he teaches about island biology, biodiversity, evolution, and phylogenetic analysis. His research interests are in the ecology and evolutionary biology of bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), as well as the theory of phylogenetic systematics. He has been heavily involved in developing electronic resources to present taxonomic and distributional information about plants to the public, with applications to conservation concerns. He has most recently been involved in developing new "spatial phylogenetic" tools for studying biodiversity and endemism using large-scale phylogenies and collection data in a geographic and statistical framework.
