N2 - Our study contributes to the characterization of the phylogeography, genetic diversity, range, time of extinction, demographic history of the Ovodov horses ( Equus ovodovi ) from Southern Siberia in comparison with previously studied Ovodov horses from China. Phylogeographic and haplotype analysis based on the mitogenome sequences we have obtained through targeted enrichment and previously published mitogenome sequences showed that some of the Ovodov horses of Krasnoyarsk Krai (Siberia) examined turned out to be the closest to one of the most ancient mitotypes, related to the Altai Ovodov horse. The remaining Ovodov horses from Southern Siberia that we studied showed the closest maternal relationship with the Holocene horses of Northeast China (Heilongjiang Province). Nucleotide diversity and FST analyses indicated a greater maternal genetic closeness between the Pleistocene population of Ovodov horses in Southern Siberia and the Holocene population of Ovodov horses in Northeast China than between the Pleistocene populations of Ovodov horses in Siberia and China, which may indicate the migration of Ovodov horses from Siberia to the south. Our sample also included the northernmost Late Pleistocene dated Ovodov horses of Siberia, which extended the boundary of its range up to 56° north latitude and the time of its extinction in Siberia to 15,000–11,000 years ago. The constructed population curves showed several sharp declines in the number of Ovodov horses in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene, one of which corresponded to the great human expansion into Asia, and the second — to the rapid climate changes at the beginning of the Holocene.
