There are currently three principal schools of thought concerning the phylogenetic affinities
of the genus Tarsius. One school regards Tarsius as the most distant living primate relative …

The accurate placement of the genus Tarsius (commonly known as the tarsier) is the
fundamental key to deriving a phylogenetic classification for the order Primates. Depending …

Our comparative study of morphological (our data on selected living primates) and
molecular characters (from the literature) confirms that, overall, phylogenetic reconstructions …

Abstract" The taxonomy and analyses of the phylogenetic relationships and adaptations of
the subfamilies Anaptomorphinae, Omomyinae, and Ekgmowechashalinae of the …

Since the early part of this century there has been widespread but not universal acceptance

The phyletic position of Tarsiiformes among primates remains controversial. In disagreement
with Gingerich [1976] who, on the basis of cranial and dental characters, considered that …

We revise the taxonomy of the primate family Tarsiidae. We classify extant tarsiers in 3
genera—Tarsius, Cephalopachus, and Carlito—each of which originated in the Miocene, or …

Abstract During the Time of Messel, the dominant groups of primates were the adapiform
