Mitochondrial DNA, purified from 36 samples of 23 local populations which are widely
distributed in Vietnam, Burma, and 10 provinces of China, has been analyzed to model the …

Investigations into the evolutionary history of the common chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes,
have produced inconsistent results due to differences in the types of molecular data …

African elephant mitochondrial (mt) DNA follows a distinctive evolutionary trajectory. As
females do not migrate between elephant herds, mt DNA exhibits low geographic dispersal …

Abstract Background Long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) are an important model
species in biomedical research and reliable knowledge about their evolutionary history is …

Abstract The origin of New World monkeys (Infraorder Platyrrhini) has been an extensively
debated issue. In this study, we analyzed mitochondrial genomes from Cebus (Platyrrhini) …

The ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and margay (L. wiedii) are sister-species of Neotropical
cats which evolved from a lineage that migrated into South America during the formation of …

One hundred and eight mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences were used in combination
with multilocus genotypes generated from 19 nuclear microsatellite loci to assess the …

Although today gorillas are found in only two widely separate, discontinuous western and
eastern African populations, rumors of the existence of an additional gorilla population in …

Gorillas are found discontinuously in the tropical forests of equatorial Africa (Fig. 9.1)(for
more detailed discussion of the distribution of gorilla populations see Groves, 1970b, 1971; …

Mitochondrial genome (mt-genome) sequences are widely used in molecular phylogenetic
studies because of their relatively small size and of the strict orthology of their genes. It is …
