Previous work by the co-investigators has revealed some                    critical gaps in our knowledge of relationships among                           hipparionine (3-toed) horses that must be filled before further                 work on their evolutionary history can be meaningfully pursued.                 They now propose to conduct analyses of North American                          hipparionine quarry samples and related, more primitive                         "merychippine" species, in order to clarify the evolutionary                    relationships of all hipparionine horses.  This work, coupled                   with ongoing work on Old World forms, will be important for                     advancing our knowledge of the 16 million year history of this                  group.  In turn, resolution of relationships in this group will                 allow us to use it for provincial and intercontinental                          geological correlations as well as for reconstruction of                        intercontinental connections during this period.  These latter                  studies are particularly important for understanding the                        relationships between long-term changes in global climates,                     patterns of past geographic distributions, and resulting patterns               of mammalian speciation.
