The evolution of molar occlusion in the Cercopithecidae and early catarrhines
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1977AbstractThose Eocene prosimians which are possible catarrhine ancestors have four blade‐like crests on each lower molar. Each crest shears in sequence across two upper molar crests. Occluding crests are concavely curved to hold the foods being sheared.

Dental arch form in the cercopithecidae
Primates, 1984The dental arches of the major genera of Old World monkeys (superfamily Cercopithecoidea) were studied by morphometric techniques. Bicanine and bimolar breadths and arch lengths were ascertained for maxillary and mandibular arches. This data was then subjected to a variety of statistical tests.

Phylogeny of the macaques (Cercopithecidae: Macaca) based on Alu elements
Gene, 2009 Genus Macaca (Cercopithecidae: Papionini) is one of the most successful primate radiations. Despite previous studies on morphology and mitochondrial DNA analysis, a number of issues regarding the details of macaque evolution remain unsolved. Alu elements are a class of non-autonomous retroposons belonging to short interspersed elements that are ...

Differential Habitat Utilization of Four Cercopithecidae in a Kenyan Forest
Folia Primatologica, 1977The presence of Papio cynocephalus, Cercopithecus mitis, Cercopithecus aethiops and Colobus angolensis in a small coastal forest is attributed to their differential habitat utilization. Data on diet, space-use patterns and polyspecific associations are given.

Long bone structural proportions and locomotor behavior in Cercopithecidae
Journal of Human Evolution, 2019Limb bone articular and diaphyseal proportions have been shown to relate to locomotor behavior in broad comparisons across catarrhines, but comparisons among phylogenetically and functionally more closely related species may be particularly useful in investigating form-function relationships that can be applied to fossil taxa.

Cercopithecids (Cercopithecidae, Primates)
2010New finds from Laetoli have allowed a more detailed assessment of the taxonomy and paleobiology of the fossil cercopithecids. Most of the specimens consist of isolated teeth, jaw fragments and postcranial bones from the Upper Laetolil Beds (∼3.5–3.8 Ma), but four specimens are known from the Upper Ndolanya Beds (∼2.66 Ma) and a proximal humerus has ...

Cercopithecidae from the Pliocene of Saint-Vallier
Geobios, 2004Abstract The mid-Pliocene mammalian faunal locality of Saint-Vallier has yielded two isolated cercopithecine primate teeth, an I 1 and a dP 3 . Both are most similar is size and morphology to those of macaques, such as the extant Macaca sylvanus , to which species the Saint-Vallier population is referred (perhaps as part of a temporal ...
