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 …

Phylogeographic research on endemic primates and amphibians inhabiting the Indonesian
island of Sulawesi revealed the existence of seven areas of endemism (AoEs). Here, we use …

The taxonomy of treeshrews (Order Scandentia) has long been complicated by ambiguous
morphological species boundaries, and the treeshrews of the Palawan faunal region of the …

The titi monkeys belong to a genus of New World primates endemic to South America, which
were recently reclassified in three genera (Cheracebus, Plecturocebus and Callicebus). The …
