Hominoids diverged from cercopithecoids during the Oligocene in Afro-Arabia, initially
radiating in that continent and subsequently dispersing into Eurasia. From the Late Miocene …

Primates have long been a test case for the development of phylogenetic methods for
divergence time estimation. Despite a large number of studies, however, the timing of …

The platyrrhine primates, or New World monkeys, are immigrant mammals whose fossil
record comes from Tertiary and Quaternary sediments of South America and the Caribbean …

Africa's fossil record of late Cenozoic mammals documents considerable ecological and
evolutionary changes through time. Here, we synthesize those changes in the context of the …

Abstract Apes and Old World monkeys are prominent components of modern African and
Asian ecosystems, yet the earliest phases of their evolutionary history have remained largely …

Paleontological and neontological systematics seek to answer evolutionary questions with
different data sets. Phylogenies inferred for combined extant and extinct taxa provide novel …

Fossil evidence indicates that numerous catarrhine clades of African origin expanded or
shifted their ranges into Eurasia, among them macaques Macaca Lacépède, 1799 …

Diurnal light-dark cycle resets the master clock, while timed food intake is another potent
synchronizer of peripheral clocks in mammals. As the largest metabolic organ, the liver …

Profound environmental and faunal changes are associated with climatic deterioration
during the Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT) roughly 34 million years ago. Reconstructing …

Abstract New World Monkeys (NWM)(platyrrhines) are one of the most diverse groups of
primates, occupying today a wide range of ecosystems in the American tropics and …
