Some previous genetic studies have been performed to resolve the molecular phylogenetics
of the squirrel monkeys (Saimiri). However, these studies did not show consensus in how …

Although squirrel monkeys (Saimiri spp., Primates: Cebidae) are abundant and widespread
in South America, the disjunct Central American species, Saimiri oerstedii, has been …

Squirrel monkeys (genus Saimiri) are distributed over a wide area encompassing the
Amazon Basin: French Guiana, Suriname, and Guyana, together with Western Panama and …

Saimiri (Cebidae) groups a complex of species and subspecies, which present a large
morphological plasticity. Genetic analysis is complicated by the absence of consensus on …

The squirrel monkey, Saimiri, is a pan-Amazonian Pleistocene radiation. We use statistical

Squirrel monkeys of the genus Saimiri are a distinct group of New World primates. They are
easily recognized visually or by their vocalizations. Anatomically they have a number of …

In order to enhance our understanding of the evolutionary history of squirrel monkeys
(Saimiri spp.), we newly sequenced and analyzed data from seven complete mitochondrial …

Squirrel monkeys (Saimiri spp.) are the most commonly used neotropical (platyrrhine)
monkeys in biomedical research; however, no consensus exists as to the phylogenetic …

Saimiri has a complicated taxonomic history, and there is continuing disagreement about the
number of valid taxa. Despite these controversies, one point of consensus among …

Two groups of squirrel monkeys, genus Saimiri, are distinguished by external characters.
