Modeling lineage and phenotypic diversification in the New World monkey (Platyrrhini, Primates) radiation [PDF]
, 2013 Adaptive radiations that have taken place in the distant past can now be more thoroughly studied with the availability of large molecular phylogenies and comparative data drawn from extant and fossil species.

Phylogeny and adaptive evolution of the brain-development gene microcephalin (MCPH1) in cetaceans. [PDF]
, 2011 BACKGROUND: Representatives of Cetacea have the greatest absolute brain size among animals, and the largest relative brain size aside from humans. Despite this, genes implicated in the evolution of large brain size in primates have yet to be surveyed in ...

Contribution à l’étude de la mobilité de l’hallux et de la phylogénie des primates actuels
Revue de Primatologie, 2015 Material and methods: 51 anatomical specimens of non-human primates were dissected (18 embalmed, 33 fresh). The amplitudes of the medial cuneometatarsal and metatarsophalangeal articulations of the first ray of the foot of the various fresh pieces and ...

Identification and diversity of killer cell Ig-like receptors in Aotus vociferans, a New World monkey. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Previous BAC clone analysis of the Platyrrhini owl monkey KIRs have shown an unusual genetic structure in some loci. Therefore, cDNAs encoding KIR molecules from eleven Aotus vociferans monkeys were characterized here; ten putative KIR loci were found ...

Origin and Deep Evolution of Human Endogenous Retroviruses in Pan-Primates
Viruses, 2022 Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are viral “fossils” in the human genome that originated from the ancient integration of exogenous retroviruses. Although HERVs have sporadically been reported in nonhuman primate genomes, their deep origination in ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Analysis of cranial endocast data of 181 extant and 41 fossil species from Euarchontoglires shows that there was a reduction in olfactory bulb size in Crown Primates, but that there were also subsequent reductions in various other primate clades (Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Platyrrhini, crown Cercopithecoidea, Hominoidea).
