Evolutionary Signal and Development of the Foramen Dorsum Sellae (Nov.) Across Primates. [PDF]

J Morphol
The dorsum sellae of the sphenoid bone occasionally exhibits an accessory opening, though its significance is unknown. We scored its presence in humans (N = 114) and 30 non‐human primate genera (N = 1468) and combined histological, dissection‐based, and phylogenetic approaches to understand its function. The foramen occurred in 12% of humans and 33% of

Mitochondrial DNA for Phylogeny Building: Assessing Individual and Grouped mtGenes as Proxies for the mtGenome in Platyrrhines. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
ABSTRACT Phylogenetic trees are analytic tools used in primate studies to elucidate evolutionary relationships. Because of its relative ease to sequence and rapid evolution compared to nuclear genomes, mitochondrial DNA is frequently used for phylogeny building. This project evaluated the effectiveness of using individual or grouped mitochondrial genes

New records and confirmation of the presence of three species of primates (Mammalia, Primates) in southwestern Colombia [PDF]

Check List, 2020
Cebus albifrons (Humboldt, 1812); Sapajus apella (Linnaeus, 1758) and Aotus lemurinus I. Geoffroy, 1843 are widely distributed primates in Colombia. Despite this, there are gaps in the occurrence of these species in the southwestern part of the country ...

Distribution extension of Aotus azarae infulatus (Kuhl, 1820) (Primates: Aotidae) and first record from the Caatinga biome [PDF]

Check List, 2016
The Feline Night Monkey, Aotus azarae infulatus (Kuhl, 1820), is recorded for the first time in the Caatinga biome and in the state of Piauí, northeastern Brazil, and represents a range extension of 163 km northeast from the nearest previously known ...

Human‐modified landscapes driving the global primate extinction crisis

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 20, Page 5775-5787, October 2023., 2023
This article investigates the impact of human‐induced changes on primate species worldwide. It examines how various human‐altered landscapes affect threatened and non‐threatened primate species with declining and stable populations. The study finds that activities like expanding pasture lands, human footprint, and road infrastructure negatively affect ...

Two hundred and five newly assembled mitogenomes provide mixed evidence for rivers as drivers of speciation for Amazonian primates

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 14, Page 3888-3902, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Mitochondrial DNA remains a cornerstone for molecular ecology, especially for study species from which high‐quality tissue samples cannot be easily obtained. Methods using mitochondrial markers are usually reliant on reference databases, but these are often incomplete.

The squirrel is in the detail: Anatomy and morphometry of the tail in Sciuromorpha (Rodentia, Mammalia)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 282, Issue 11, Page 1659-1682, November 2021., 2021
The relevance of selected caudal osteological characters and the applicability of tail regionalization as defined for Primates and Carnivora has been confirmed for Sciuromorpha (Rodentia). Differences in the flying squirrels' tail region proportions match discrepancies seen in their inner ear reflecting different locomotory adaptations.
