Multilevel (or modular) societies are a distinct type of primate social system whose key
features are single-male–multifemale, core units nested within larger social bands. They are …

Phylogenetic relationships, divergence times, and patterns of biogeographic descent among
primate species are both complex and contentious. Here, we generate a robust molecular …

Odd-nosed monkeys represent one of the two major groups of Asian colobines. Our
knowledge about this primate group is still limited as it is highlighted by the recent discovery …

Abstract Aim The four Mentawai islands, south‐west of Sumatra, have long been isolated
from the remainder of Sundaland, resulting in a high level of endemism. We examined the …

Background Phylogenetic relationships among Asian and African colobine genera have
been disputed and are not yet well established. In the present study, we revisit the …

Gibbons (Hylobatidae) are small, arboreal apes indigenous to Southeast Asia that diverged
from other apes∼ 15–18 Ma. Extant lineages radiated rapidly 6–10 Ma and are organized …

Lineage sorting has been suggested as a major force in generating incongruent
phylogenetic signal when multiple gene partitions are examined. The degree of lineage …

Background The evolutionary relationships of closely related species have long been of
interest to biologists since these species experienced different evolutionary processes in a …

Lemurs (infraorder: Lemuriformes) are a radiation of strepsirrhine primates endemic to the
island of Madagascar. As of 2012, 101 lemur species, divided among five families, have …

Abstract During 2010–2011, we investigated interspecies transmission of partetraviruses
between predators (humans and chimpanzees) and their prey (colobus monkeys) in Côte …
