| variation in guenon skulls (i): species divergence, ecological and genetic differences. | guenons are the most diverse clade of african monkeys. they have varied ecologies, include arboreal and terrestrial species, and can be found in nearly every region of sub-saharan africa. species boundaries are often uncertain, with a variable number of species and subspecies mostly recognised on the basis of their geographic distribution and pelage. if guenon soft tissue patterns show high variability, the same does not seem to hold for skull morphology. guenon skulls are traditionally consider ... | 2008 | 18191179 |

| the genome of the endangered dryas monkey provides new insights into the evolutionary history of the vervets. | genomic data can be a powerful tool for inferring ecology, behavior, and conservation needs of highly elusive species, particularly, when other sources of information are hard to come by. here, we focus on the dryas monkey (cercopithecus dryas), an endangered primate endemic to the congo basin with cryptic behavior and possibly <250 remaining adult individuals. using whole-genome sequencing data, we show that the dryas monkey represents a sister lineage to the vervets (chlorocebus sp.) and has d ... | 2020 | 31529046 |
