| pleistocene diversification of living squirrel monkeys (saimiri spp.) inferred from complete mitochondrial genome sequences. | in order to enhance our understanding of the evolutionary history of squirrel monkeys (saimiri spp.), we newly sequenced and analyzed data from seven complete mitochondrial genomes representing six squirrel monkey taxa. while previous studies have lent insights into the taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus, phylogenetic relationships and divergence date estimates among major squirrel monkey clades remain unclear. using maximum likelihood and bayesian procedures, we inferred a highly resolved phyl ... | 2011 | 21443955 |
