The genus Saguinus comprises three principal clades that diverged in the Middle to Late
Miocene. Their taxa are ecologically differentiated and allopatrically distributed. These …

Abstract The Malay tapir, Tapirus indicus Desmarest 1819, currently has a patchy
distribution that covers parts of Myanmar, southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and the …

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 …

The suborder Anthropoidea of the primates has traditionally been divided in three
superfamilies: the Hominoidea (apes and humans) and the Cercopithecoidea (Old World …

We provide phylogenetic analyses for primary Reptilia lineages including, for the first time,
Sphenodon punctatus (tuatara) using data from whole mitochondrial genomes. Our …

The four extant members of the family Tapiridae have a disjunct, relictual distribution, with
three species being Neotropical (Tapirus bairdii, T. terrestris, and T. pinchaque) and one …

We sequenced 2167 base pairs (bp) of mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b and 16S, and
1390bp of nuclear genes BRCA1 and ApoB in shrews taxa (Eulipotyphla, family Soricidae) …

In order to identify the zoogeographic origin of shrews (genusCrocidura) living on the
oceanic island of Sulawesi, 15 taxa from Southeast Asia and 1 from Europe were examined …

The origins and the divergence times of the most basal lineages within primates have been
difficult to resolve mainly due to the incomplete sampling of early fossil taxa. The main …

This study presents a molecular phylogeny of the Saguinus genus, based on the analysis of
the DNA sequences of five nuclear loci with Alu insertions in 10 species. The concatenated …
