| molecular phylogeny of mentawai macaques: taxonomic and biogeographic implications. | in order to elucidate the evolutionary history and taxonomy of the mentawai macaques, we sequenced a 567 base pairs (bp) long fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene from 39 individuals representing pigtailed macaque populations from siberut, sipora, south pagai, and sumatra. pairwise difference analyses carried out within and among populations have shown, that: (1) variation within populations is relative low, (2) variation among populations is increased, and (3) pairwise differences wi ... | 2003 | 12967615 |
| [measurement and analysis of hematology and blood chemistry parameters in northern pig-tailed macaques (macaca leonina)]. | the pig-tailed macaque is an important non-human primate experimental animal model that has been widely used in the research of aids and other diseases. pig-tailed macaques include mentawai macaques (macaca pagensis), sunda pig-tailed macaques (m. nemestrina) and northern pig-tailed macaques (m. leonina). northern pig-tailed macaques inhabit china and surrounding southeast asia countries. to our knowledge, no reports have been published regarding the hematology and blood chemistry parameters of ... | 2013 | 23572357 |
| phylogeographic analysis of pigtail macaque populations (macaca nemestrina) inferred from mitochondrial dna. | mitochondrial dna variation was surveyed in nine populations of the pigtail macaque (macaca nemestrina), covering all three recognized subspecies in southeast asia. to do this, a 2,300 base pair fragment spanning the mitochondrial nad 3 and nad 4 genes and flanking trna subunits leucine and glycine was targeted for amplification and digested with a battery of 16 restriction endonucleases. out of a total of 107 individuals, 32 unique haplotypes could be distinguished. parsimony and neighbor-joini ... | 1997 | 9331452 |
