Primate Adaptation and Evolution, Fourth Edition provides key features of extant families
and references to more detailed texts. The book sets the scene and creates space for a …

While hybridization has been reported for a large number of primate taxa, there is a general
lack of data on hybrid morphology for wild individuals with known genetic ancestry. A …

A biogeographical model was proposed in 2006 to explain the centers of endemism and the
importance of riparian forest of some watersheds as refuges or dispersal corridors during …

Endogenous selection is often implicated in the maintenance of stability of natural hybrid
zones. Environmental conditions often vary across these zones, suggesting that local …

Background Species are the fundamental units in evolutionary biology. However, defining
them as evolutionary independent lineages requires integration of several independent …

It has become apparent that natural hybridization is far more common and may play a much
greater role in evolution than has historically been recognized. The skeletal morphology of …

Background Species recognition, ie, the ability to distinguish conspecifics from
heterospecifics, plays an essential role in reproduction. The role of facial cues for species …

Studies of hybrid zones can inform our understanding of reproductive isolation and
speciation. Two species of brown lemur (Eulemur rufifrons and E. cinereiceps) form an …

Based on the methods outlined in Determining the Ark Kinds (Lightner, Hennigan, Purdom,
and Hodge 2011), information on the class Mammalia was evaluated in an attempt to get a …

Because Huxley (1863) and Darwin (1871) speculated that African apes were humans'
