Complete mitochondrial genome of Trachypithecus poliocephalus (Primates: Cercopithecidae)
Conservation Genetics Resources, 2017Trachypithecus poliocephalus : (Primates: Cercopithecidae), classified as critically endangered (IUCN) and in China was listed National First Class Protected Animal. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of T. poliocephalus has been reported for the first time in China. The complete mitochondrial genome of T.

Browridge development in cercopithecidae: A test of two models
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1988AbstractTheoretical discussions of primate browridge formation have resulted in several interpretations of its form and function. Lateral radiographs of adult Old World monkeys, representing most cercopithecine and colobine genera, were examined to address whether both biomechanical and spatial factors influence the development of a supraorbital torus ...

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 ...

New contribution on the oesophageal mucous innervation in certain monkeys (Cercopithecidae)
Cells Tissues Organs, 1980Spindle-shaped, barrel-like, or bush-like corpuscular neural structures situated in the mucous epithelium of the upper third of the oesophagus are described. These structures are not homogeneously distributed in this area. Some are very close to the pharyngo-oesophageal sphincter, spanning the thickness of the epithelium and communicating with the ...

Genetic differentiation among three genera of family cercopithecidae
Primates, 1982The degree of genetic differentiation among three genera of cercopithecines,Macaca, Papio andCercopithecus, was quantified by the electrophoretic analyses of blood protein variations controlled by 29 genetic loci. The estimates ofNei's standard genetic distance between the pair of species belonging to different genera were in a range of 0.48–0.90.

The molecular systematics of the Cercopithecidae
2000Introduction George H.F. Nuttall (1904:4) wrote: “The persistence of the chemical blood-relationship between the various groups of animals serves to carry us back into geological times, and I believe we have but begun the work along these lines, and that it will lead to valuable results in the study of various problems of evolution.” While enormous ...

Evolutionary history of the Cercopithecidae.
Contributions to primatology, 1975The application of cladistic methods (especially a concentration on shared derived rather than ancestral characters) permits the distinction of four dental and two cranial morphocytes among the Cercopithecidae. Comparison with fossils suggests that the Fayum parapithecids are not specially related to the Old World monkeys, while other undoubted Fayum ...

Cytology of the Cercopithecidae: the banding pattern of Cercopithecus nigroviridis Pocock 1907
Journal of Human Evolution, 1975Abstract In the present note, some preliminary results on the chromosomes of Cercopithecus nigroviridis are shown. In the two subjects studied a diploid number of 48 was found. The chromosomes were also treated by enzymatic digestion (trypsin treatment) and the results are visualized.

Incisor Size and Diet in Anthropoids with Special Reference to Cercopithecidae
Science, 1975In 57 species of anthropoids relative size of incisors is highly correlated with diet. Anthropoids that feed primarily on large food objects (large fruits) have larger incisors than those that feed on smaller food objects (berries or leaves). This difference reflects a need for more extensive incisal preparation of larger food objects before ...
