The squirrel monkey, Saimiri, is a pan-Amazonian Pleistocene radiation. We use statistical
phylogeographic methods to create a mitochondrial DNA-based timetree for 118 squirrel …

In most primate species, males transfer out of their natal groups, resulting in groups of
unrelated males. However, in a few species, including humans, males remain in their groups …

Natal dispersal, the movement of individuals from their birthplace to new areas in which they
may breed, is an important aspect of life history that influences processes at the level of the …

Sexually dimorphic traits can evolve through male–male competition or female choice.
Squirrel monkeys (genus Saimiri) live in large multimale, multifemale groups and are …

Landscape genetic studies offer a fine-scale understanding of how habitat heterogeneity
influences population genetic structure. We examined population genetic structure and …

Western black‐and‐white colobus and Temmink's red colobus are two forest‐dependent
African primates with similar ecological requirements, often found in sympatry. Their most …

Non-invasive techniques for collection of DNA samples of suitable quality and quantity are
important for improving the efficiency of genetic wildlife research. The development of a non …

Dispersal is a critically important life history trait of social organisms that has a major impact
on the population genetic structure and social relationships within groups. Primates exhibit …

Dispersal, one of the major factors affecting the gene flow between populations, shapes the
spatial distribution of genetic diversity within species. Alouatta macconnelli and Saguinus …

Little genetic information is available to evaluate hypotheses concerning the parameters that
affect population genetic structure in primate taxa that exhibit interspecific variation in social …
