Complete mitochondrial (mtDNA) genomes have proved to be useful in reconstructing
primate phylogenies with higher resolution and confidence compared to reconstructions
based on partial mtDNA sequences. Here, we analyse complete mtDNA genomes of African
green monkeys (genus Chlorocebus), a widely distributed primate genus in Africa
representing an interesting phylogeographical model for the evolution of savannah species.
Previous studies on partial mtDNA sequences revealed nine major clades, suggesting …

… savannah primate genera (Chlorocebus and Papio) … Since this article was originally
published, the authors have noted two errors in their article: (1) On page 471, left column,
line 10 ‘female-biased dispersal’ should actually read ‘female philopatry’. (2) In Table S1 (Supporting
Information) the sampling locations of the two Papio ursinus samples had been exchanged (Blyde
River and De Hoop Nature Reserve). A corrected version of Table S1 is given below. …
