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

Developmental genetics research on mice provides a relatively sound understanding of the
genes necessary and sufficient to make mammalian teeth. However, mouse dentitions are …

Patterns of primate socioecology have been used to suggest that the first truly savanna-
dwelling hominin, Homo ergaster, lived in sizeable groups. Here, we revisit these estimates …

The biological mechanisms that underpin primate social evolution remain poorly
understood. Asian colobines display a range of social organizations, which makes them …

Group-living animals often do not maintain territories, but instead have highly overlapping
ranges, even though in principle these are economically defendable. We investigate …

The dynamic geological and climatological history of Southeast Asia has spawned a
complex array of ecosystems and 12 of the 37 known cat species, making it the most felid …

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

The disjunct distribution of Presbytis femoralis subspecies across Sumatra (P. f. percura),
southern (P. f. femoralis) and northern (P. f. robinsoni) Peninsular Malaysia marks the …

Background Developmental processes that underpin morphological variation have become
a focus of interest when attempting to interpret macroevolutionary patterns. Recently, the …

A significant number of Southeast Asian mammal species described in the 19th and 20th
century were subsequently synonymized and are now considered subspecies. Many are …
