The evolutionary history of macaques, genus Macaca, has been under debate due to the
short times of divergence. In this study, maternal, paternal, and biparental genetic systems …

Abstract Background Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) can be divided into four subspecies.
Substantial phylogenetic evidence suggests that these subspecies can be grouped into two …

Background Intraspecific variation within the diverse southern African murine rodents has
not been extensively investigated, yet cryptic diversity is evident in several taxa studied to …

Great ape systematics, particularly at the species level and below, is currently under debate,
due in part to the recent influx of molecular data. The phylogenies of previously published …

In macaque monkeys, females are philopatric and males are obligate dispersers. This social
system is expected to differently affect evolution of genetic elements depending on their …

Evidence of incongruence between mitochondrial and nuclear gene trees is now becoming
documented with increasing frequency. Among the Old World monkeys, this discordance …

Baboons (Papio, ss) comprise a series of parapatric allotaxa (subspecies or closely related
species) widely distributed in sub‐Saharan Africa. Despite extensive studies of their …

Our goal was to determine phylogenetic relationships among geographically and
taxonomically distinct haplotypes of spider monkeys (Ateles) based on DNA sequence …

Sequencing of a fragment of mitochondrial DNA extracted from droppings of a green
monkey inhabiting the Caribbean island of St. Kitts, and comparing the obtained sequence …

Phylogenetic trees for the four extant species of African hominoids are presented, based on
mtDNA control region-1 sequences from 1,158 unique haplotypes. We include 83 new …
