Search for: [Description = "Traditionally, morphologically based phylogenetic relationships within the famili Elephantidae \(mostly Loxodonta, Elephas, and Mammuthus\) depicted Elephas and Mammuthus as closely related taxa with Loxodonta, as a sister\-group to this clade. Until recently, molecular studies were unable to resolve relationships among the woolly mammoth \(Mammuthus\), Asian \(Elephas\) and African \(Loxodonta\) elephants, or indicated a phenetic pairing of Loxodonta and Mammuthus with Elephas as a sister\-group to this grade. In this study we provide further morphological evidence for the traditional hypothesis and data from aligned DNA sequences of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b in support of the monophyletic Mammuthus\-Elephas clade."]
