The role and importance of natural hybridization in the evolutionary histories of animal taxa
is still debated. This results largely from a history of zoological investigations that assumed …

Hybridization between two closely related species is a natural evolutionary process that
results in an admixture of previously isolated gene pools. The exchange of genes between …

Our understanding of the evolutionary history of primates is undergoing continual revision
due to ongoing genome sequencing efforts. Bolstered by growing fossil evidence, these …

A basic understanding of the taxonomy, diversity, and distributions of primates is essential
for their conservation. This review of the status of the taxonomy of lemurs is based on a 5-d …
