The macaque radiation is as old as the hominin radiation, approximately 7 million years.
After Homo, Macaca has the widest geographical range among primates, and both of these …

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 …

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

Here, we present a new primate phylogeny inferred from molecular supermatrix analyses of
size 42kb containing 70% of missing data, and representing 75% of primate species …

Background Colobine monkeys constitute a diverse group of primates with major radiations
in Africa and Asia. However, phylogenetic relationships among genera are under debate …

Genus Macaca (Cercopithecidae: Papionini) is one of the most successful primate
radiations. Despite previous studies on morphology and mitochondrial DNA analysis, a …

We describe a newly discovered Macaca species from the Medog, in southeastern Tibet,
China, Macaca leucogenys sp. nov or the “white‐cheeked macaque”. Based on 738 photos …

For many years, the likelihood that hybridization occurred in human evolution has been
debated. Tattersall and Schwartz pointed out one of the core problems with resolving this …

Most cercopithecine genera occur in Africa, where exceptionally diverse communities in rain
forests include four or more species, along with colobines and apes. Rivers and unsuitable …

Background In 2005, a new primate species from Tanzania, the kipunji, was described and
recognized as a member of the mangabey genus Lophocebus. However, molecular …
