A Molecular Phylogeny of Living Primates
Comparative genomic analyses of primates offer considerable potential to define and understand the processes that mold, shape, and transform the human genome. However, primate taxonomy is both complex and controversial, with marginal unifying consensus of the evolutionary hierarchy of extant primate species. Here we provide new genomic sequence (~8 Mb) from 186 primates representing 61 (~90%) o...
متن کاملA composite molecular phylogeny of living lemuroid primates.
Lemuroid phylogeny is a source of lively debate among primatologists. Reconstructions based on morphological, physiological, behavioural and molecular data have yielded a diverse array of tree topologies with few nodes in common. In the last decade, molecular phylogenetic studies have grown in popularity, and a wide range of sequences has been brought to bear on the problem, but consensus has r...
متن کاملA Mitogenomic Phylogeny of Living Primates
Primates, the mammalian order including our own species, comprise 480 species in 78 genera. Thus, they represent the third largest of the 18 orders of eutherian mammals. Although recent phylogenetic studies on primates are increasingly built on molecular datasets, most of these studies have focused on taxonomic subgroups within the order. Complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes have proven to be ex...
متن کاملA Handbook of Living Primates
Now that books purporting to show that man is just an ape at heart, and in other ways, are making the best seller lists, a handbook of the tribe itself should command more than ordinary interest. The idea of this book seems an excellent one: it indeed appears to meet its objective as a useful, working volume (a little bit on the bulky side) of the living primates. Falling between Osman Hill's m...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny of Ephippidae (Actinopteri: Acanthuriformes)
The family Ephippidae consists of eight genera and 15 species. The genus Platax with five species distributed throughout Indo-Pacific, seemingly has more diversity than other genera of the family. Phylogenetic relationships among species and genera of the family, however, are not fully resolved. 48 sequences of eight species (four genera) of batfishes are available in the GenBank and have been ...
