Geometric morphometrics (GM) has increasingly become an important tool in assessing and
studying shape variation in a wide variety of taxa. While the GM toolkit has unparalleled …

Islands have long been recognized as distinctive evolutionary arenas leading to
morphologically divergent species, such as dwarfs and giants. We assessed how body size …

Owl monkeys, genus Aotus, are distributed from Panama to the northeast of Argentina and
from the highlands of the Andes to the Atlantic coast. They are relatively small arboreal …

We report a new Paleogene primate community discovered in the uppermost part of the
Samlat Formation outcrop** on the continental shore of the Rio de Oro, east of the Dakhla …

Phylogeny reconstruction is an estimation of genealogical history, not an exact rendering of
it, and no method of phylogeny reconstruction is infallible. The cladistic relationships of the …

Here we describe new fossil material of Antillothrix bernensis, a Pleistocene-Holocene
primate taxon from Hispaniola. It is now represented by seven crania, five mandibles, and …

" This book is a broad synthesis of new world monkey evolution, integrating their unique
evolutionary story into the bigger picture of primate evolution and Amazon biodiversity …

Early research hypothesized that Aotus was a member of a specialized guild of hard-fruit
and seed-eating “sclerocarpic harvesters” based largely on their dentognathic morphology …

Abstract The Jamaican primate, Xenothrix mcgregori, regarded variously as either a
pitheciid or a stem platyrrhine, was the terminal branch of a clade that likely entered the …

Phylogenetic or species trees reflect the branching process of lineages and have direct and
indirect interest for several branches of evolutionary anthropology. Estimating phylogenetic …
