Deskripsi
Hekkala et al. use mitochondrial genomic data of the extinct “horned” crocodile, Voay robustus, from Holocene deposits in Madagascar to examine its evolutionary history. Phylogenetic analyses indicate a sister group relationship between Voay and true crocodiles (Crocodylus), and add support to an African origin for the group.
