Here we report nine new fossil specimens of platyrrhine primates collected in late Early Miocene deposits of the Pinturas Formation, Argentine Patagonia, during two joint paleontological expeditions in 2004 and 2013 carried ...

Three unpublished fossil primate specimens from Patagonia (Argentina) are reported here. They are part of the Tournouër collection housed at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris, France, and correspond to a ...

Phylogenetic or species trees reflect the branching process of lineages and have direct and indirect interest for several branches of evolutionary anthropology. Estimating phylogenetic trees is a necessary first step toward ...

Objectives: The purpose of this work is to present a new primate locality with evidence that increases the knowledge on the radiation of the extinct platyrrhine primates. Materials and methods: We studied the new specimen ...

Platyrrhines are a diverse group of primates that presently occupy a broad range of tropical-equatorial environments in the Americas. However, most of the fossil platyrrhine species of the early Miocene have been found at ...

In order to study the intra- and interspecific variability of the 14/15 association in Platyrrhini, we analyzed 15 species from 13 genera, including species that had not been described yet. The DNA libraries of human ...

The color vision of most platyrrhine primates is determined by alleles at the polymorphic X-linked locus coding for the opsin responsible for the middle- to long-wavelength (M/L) cone photopigment. Females who are heterozygous ...
