Scientists thought these seals evolved in the north. 3-million-year-old fossils from New Zealand suggest otherwise

A fossil discovery in New Zealand has revealed a brand new species of monk seal that after referred to as Australasia house. We introduce the three million-year-old seal, Eomonachus belegaerensis, in a paper printed in the present day within the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Eomonachus is the primary monk seal species, dwelling or extinct, ever discovered within the southern hemisphere — and the oldest discovered wherever.

It’s rewriting all the pieces consultants thought they knew in regards to the evolution of “monachines”, a gaggle of seal relations comprising the 2 dwelling species of monk seal, the elephant seals, in addition to sure species of Antarctic seals.

We estimate Eomonachus belegaerensis was about 2.5 meters lengthy. Jaime Bran/Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Creator supplied (No reuse)

On the point of vanishing

Monk seals are among the world’s rarest and most endangered marine mammals. There are fewer than 2,100 Mediterranean and Hawaiian monk seals alive in the present day. The Caribbean monk seal was hunted to extinction by the Nineteen Fifties.

Conservationists are actually scrambling to avoid wasting what’s left of Earth’s final solely tropical seals from disappearing.

That mentioned, we might be fallacious to imagine monk seals have been doing simply tremendous earlier than people started exploiting them. How they fared over the previous few million years stays unclear. We additionally don’t know the place they originated, as fossils are few and much between.

Scientists historically thought all monk seals developed within the North Atlantic Ocean. Earlier than the invention of Eomonachus, monk seals had solely been discovered within the Northern Hemisphere.

Actually, most monachine fossils are discovered within the north, despite the fact that a number of dwelling monachines (Antarctic seals and elephant seals) reside almost exclusively within the Southern Ocean.

The surprising discovery of Eomonachus has fully flipped the evolutionary historical past not solely of monk seals, however of all monachines — by inserting all three within the Southern Hemisphere for the primary time.

A monk seal from New Zealand

The restoration of the primary identified Eomonachus fossils got here within the type of seven skulls uncovered alongside the coast of Taranaki, on New Zealand’s North Island. The fossils have been retrieved by native collectors and donated to the Te Papa Tongarewa and Canterbury museums.

Our group finally named the species Eomonachus belegaerensis. This interprets to “daybreak monk seal from Belegaer”. Belegaer is the fictional sea that lies west of “Center Earth”, the land from J. R. R. Tolkein’s Lord of The Rings trilogy which is commonly related to New Zealand.

However what have been monk seals doing in New Zealand three million years in the past?

Nicely, up to now, southern oceans have been lots hotter than they’re in the present day. And historic monk seals, very similar to their fashionable relations, lived in subtropical waters.

However till this year, few scientific research on extinct monachines had been performed within the southern hemisphere. That is doubtless why Eomonachus eluded scientists for therefore lengthy.

The evolution of monachines

Following the disclosing of Eomonachus, we determined to re-investigate the evolution of the monachines.

Our analysis signifies this group of seals developed within the Southern Hemisphere in any case. That is in distinction with each idea beforehand put ahead by scientists.

If there’s certainly a southern origin for monachines, this could imply the group crossed the equator a minimum of eight instances all through its evolutionary historical past.

Nonetheless, the nice and cozy waters on the equator are broadly accepted to be a thermal barrier which is troublesome for marine mammals to cross.

If previous monachines did soar between each hemispheres, they might have had broad environmental tolerances that allow them do that. And this could have enabled their dispersal all over the world.

It’s troublesome to say conclusively whether or not fashionable seals share this trait, however we do comprehend it’s uncommon for them to cross the equator throughout their lifetime.

Local weather change and seal extinction

So why aren’t monk seals dwelling round New Zealand now?

About 2.5 million years in the past, marine megafauna skilled an extinction event, thought to have been brought on by a drop in sea ranges because of falling international temperature.

Earlier analysis has theorised this alteration in local weather spurred the extinction of many ancient seals within the Southern Hemisphere. This might have included Eomonachus, in addition to different extinct monachines.

This implies the world’s final two species of monk seal, vestiges of what was as soon as doubtless a widespread group, are additionally in danger from local weather change.

If sea ranges proceed to rise, the seashores monk seals rely on for resting and breeding might disappear. Rising temperatures might additionally disrupt food webs, making it troublesome for them to seek out meals.

Whereas the invention of Eomonachus is thrilling, it may also be thought of a cautionary story.

Tooth be told: Earless seals existed in ancient Australia

A fossilised seal tooth, dating back approximately three million years, found on a Victorian beach proves earless seals existed in Australia in prehistoric times. Known as monachines, the seals became extinct due to rapid changes in sea level. Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200403104005.htm

(this term was inspired by kenochoric and is meant to function similarly, but is related to ways in which I personally experience gender)

MONACHORIC: an umbrella term/label based on the emotion ‘monachopsis’, which is the ‘subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place’. it is something that affects one’s gender identity overall, and while it isn’t inherently a gender itself it can be used as such. there are multiple qualities of monachoric and a monachine individual may identify with all, one or some

- a disconnect and apathy towards humanity, not feeling like one fits in with other people (this may, but does not have to be, due to autism or a personality disorder)

- dogs, dog metaphors or relating to canine behaviour

- teenage behaviour, being awkward, being a loser, misfit or an outcast

- angry, messy and indignant emotions

- concepts of making dumb mistakes, bruises on knees and knuckles, old videogames, CDs and DVDs, being a burnout, making found footage films, rebellion, posters and baggy clothes

NOTABLE TERMS

monachine/MOIN: masculine/feminine equivalent / monachoric in nature

MOINgender: any gender under monachoric

monachism: masculinity/femininity equivalent

a loser: man/woman equivalent

transmona: individual transitioning to a monachoric identity alongside/instead of fem, masc, neu, xenine etc

Tooth be told: Earless seals existed in ancient Australia

A fossilised seal tooth found on a Victorian beach could hold the key to uncovering the history and geography of earless seals that graced Australia’s shores three million years ago.

This prehistoric specimen is only the second earless seal fossil ever discovered in Australia, and proves the country’s local fur seals and sea lions were preceded by a group of sea mammals, known as monachines, now long extinct in Australia.

The study also highlights the current dangers of climate change to Earth’s existing wildlife, with falling sea levels likely to have played a role in the extinction of these ancient seals.

The history of this rare specimen was published today (Friday 3 April) in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology by a team of scientists from Monash University’s School of Biological Sciences and Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, and Museums Victoria, led by PhD candidate James Rule.

“This tooth, roughly three million years old, tells a story similar to what occurred in South Africa and South America in the past. Earless monachine seals used to dominate southern beaches and waters, and then suddenly disappeared, with eared seals replacing them,” Mr Rule said.

“Since seal fossils are rare globally, this discovery makes a vital contribution to our understanding of this iconic group of sea mammals.”

An Australian citizen scientist and amateur fossil collector discovered the tooth while strolling along the beach at Portland, western Victoria.

But it wasn’t until he donated the fossil to Museums Victoria many years later that it was found to have been a tooth from an extinct group of earless seals.

The research team compared the tooth to other pinnipeds – a group that includes earless seals, fur seals, sea lions and the walrus.

They found the tooth possessed characteristics of monachines and shed light on how these seals lived and what they ate.

“This seal lived in shallow waters close to the shore, likely hunting fish and squid. As monachines cannot use their limbs to walk on land, it would have required flat, sandy beaches when it came ashore to rest,” Mr Rule said.

Researchers believe drastic changes in the Earth’s climate fundamentally altered Australia’s environment by eliminating the beaches used by earless seals to rest.

“These changes in the past have led to the extinction of Australia’s ancient earless seals,” Dr David Hocking, co-author and Research Fellow in Monash University’s School of Biological Sciences, said.

“Our living fur seals and sea lions will likely face similar challenges as the Earth continues to warm, with melting polar ice leading to rising sea levels.

“Over time, this may lead to the eventual loss of islands that these species currently rely upon to rest and raise their young.”
