The hamadryas baboon, Papio hamadryas hamadryas, represents a rare exception from the
pattern of female philopatry and male-biased dispersal predominant in mammals including …

Behavior is influenced by genes but can also shape the genetic structure of natural
populations. Investigating this link is of great importance because behavioral processes can …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphisms have been shown to be useful markers in
revealing patterns of gene flow and population structure, particularly when differentiated …

Male macaques typically leave their natal group before sexual maturity, while females
remain for life. Thus genes flow between groups and populations almost solely through male …

Baboons (Mammalia: Primates, Papio) are found primarily on the continent of Africa, but the
range of hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas) extends to the Arabian Peninsula, and the …

DNA was extracted from the buffy coats or serum of 212 rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
sampled throughout the species' geographic range. An 835 base pair (bp) fragment of …

Surveys of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in macaque monkeys have revealed
extremely high levels of intraspecific divergence among haplotypes. One consistent pattern …

Macaque monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were introduced to the island of Mauritius
approximately 400 years ago. This study compares the mitochondrial DNA of macaques on …

Species, as main evolutionary units have long been considered to be morphological entities
with limited hybridization potential. The occurrence of taxa which maintain morphological …

Objectives Incomplete and/or biased sampling either on a taxonomic or geographic level
can lead to delusive phylogenetic and phylogeographic inferences. However, a complete …
