The time-tree analysis estimated a late Miocene divergence between Cebus and Sapajus and a subsequent Plio-Pleistocene diversification within each of the two clades. Bayesian analysis of phylogeographic diffusion history indicated that the current wide-ranging sympatry of Cebus and Sapajus across much of the Amazon Basin was the result of a single explosive late Pleistocene invasion of Sapajus from the Atlantic Forest into the Amazon, where Sapajus is now sympatric with gracile capuchins across much of their range. Main conclusions The biogeographic history of capuchins suggests late Miocene geographic isolation of the gracile and robust forms. Each form diversified independently, but during the Pleistocene, the robust Sapajus expanded its range from the Atlantic Forest to the Amazon, where it has now encroached substantially upon what was previously the exclusive range of gracile Cebus. The genus Cebus, as currently recognized, should be split into two genera to reflect the Miocene divergence and two subsequent independent Pliocene *Correspondence: Jessica W.

All This turned into a division of so-called ‘untufted’ and ‘tufted’ treatments based on morphology, however, recognize the capuchins, adopted by Hershkovitz (1949), Hershkovitz (1955) division of robust and gracile forms (Hill, 1960; Rylands et al., and Hill (1960), and used ever since.

Here we refer to Cebus for the recognized four species, one tufted (Cebus apella) and three gracile (or untufted) capuchins and Sapajus for the robust (or untufted [Cebus albifrons, Cebus capucinus and Cebus nigri- tufted) capuchins, for clarity. vittatus (= olivaceus)].

  • Primate Families-Short
    The Primates compiled by Dana Visalli A male Mandrill Primates arose from ancestors that lived in the trees of tropical forests; many primate characteristics represent adaptations to life in this challenging three-dimensional environment. Most primate species remain at least partly arboreal. There are a surprisingly large number of primates, or ‘monkeys and their kin.’ The total number is variable, but settles in the range of approximately 325 species. The word ‘primate’ comes from a Latin root meaning ‘first rank’ or ‘numeral uno,’ a reflection of ever-present an- thropocentrism (human self-centeredness) of our species, which tends to judge nearby Homo sapiens (which means ‘wise man’) as the pinnacle of the infinitely long evolutionary journey, while those Homo sapiens at a distance are often considered to be ‘the other’ and ‘the enemy’ and therefore not wise at all. Primates range in size from a tiny lemur in Madagascar called Madame Berthe’s Mouse Lemur, which weighs one ounce, to the lowland gorillas in Africa, which weigh in at well over 400 pounds. Genetic studies indicate that the primate line originated about 85 million years ago, in the mid-Cretaceous Peri- od. New primate species are still being discovered. More than 25 species were taxonomically described in the decade of the 2000s and eleven have been described since 2010. Primates are characterized by large brains relative to other mammals, as well as an increased reliance on stereoscopic vision at the expense of smell, the dominant sensory system in most mammals. These features are more developed in monkeys and apes and noticeably less so in lorises and lemurs.

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 42.1: 69–77, Doi: https://doi.org/10.32800/abc.2019.42.0069 Abstract Reconsidering mammal extinctions in the Pernambuco Endemism Center of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest: a cri- tique. This is a reply to the critique made by Garbino et al. (2018) to our article (Mendes Pontes et al., 2016) in which we revealed an unprecedented mass extinction event in the Pernambuco Endemism Center (CEPE) and with which they disagreed. Here we critically review their arguments, and present incontrovertible evidence that the processes presented in our 2016 paper are real events. Additionally, we discuss the importance of providing up–to–date scientific data to prove the existence of a species, and the critical importance of historical records in formulating a better understanding of the mammalian diversity of the CEPE. We point out that a more rigorous approach towards historical and recent records is needed when producing checklists of CEPE mammals, given that ignoring evidence and allowing personal opinion to prevail may lead to loss of credibility and jeopardize conservation efforts.
