BackgroundTiti monkeys, Callicebus, comprise the most species-rich primate genus—34 species are currently recognised, five of them described since 2005. The lack of molecular data for titi monkeys has meant that little is known of their phylogenetic relationships and divergence times. To clarify their evolutionary history, we assembled a large molecular dataset by sequencing 20 nuclear and two mitochondrial loci for 15 species, including representatives from all recognised species groups…

Evolutionary history and taxonomy of the titi monkeys (callicebinae)

A revised genus-level classification for Callicebinae is proposed that recognises three genera (Cheracebus, Callicebus, Plecturocebus) based on the results from the phylogenetic analyses, as well as morphological, karyological and biogeographic evidence.

Phylogeny, molecular dating and zoogeographic history of the titi monkeys (Callicebus, Pitheciidae) of eastern Brazil.

On a new species of titi monkey (Primates: Plecturocebus Byrne et al., 2016), from Alta Floresta, southern Amazon, Brazil.

Phylogenetic relationships among Capuchin (Cebidae, Platyrrhini) lineages: An old event of sympatry explains the current distribution of Cebus and Sapajus

The results support the SEV hypothesis, showing that the current syntopic distribution of Cebus and Sapajus can be explained by a sympatric speciation event in the Amazon.

Duetting Patterns of Titi Monkeys (Primates, Pitheciidae: Callicebinae) and Relationships with Phylogeny

An acoustic analysis of callicebine loud calls recorded from ten species of titis at sites in Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador found four distinct patterns of duetting that only partially match three major clades identified in recent molecular genetic studies, and reveals a presumptive taxonomic incoherence illustrated by the distinctive loud calls of the San Martin titi monkey.

Mitogenomic phylogeny of Callithrix with special focus on human transferred taxa

A robust Callithrix phylogeny and divergence time estimates are reconstructed, and the first evidence that parental mtDNA lineages of anthropogenic hybrid and allochthonous marmosets are broadly distributed inside and outside of the Atlantic Forest is provided.

Reconstructing the phylogeny of new world monkeys (platyrrhini): evidence from multiple non-coding loci

This study provides insights into the disputed phylogenetic relationships among NWM families and subfamilies from the perspective of multiple non-coding loci and various tree-inference approaches, albeit with varying degrees of statistical support.

A New Species of Titi Monkey, Genus Cheracebus Byrne et al., 2016 (Primates: Pitheciidae), from Peruvian Amazonia

It is concluded that specimens from the Nanay-Tigre interfluvium in Peruvian Amazonia comprise a distinct lineage at the species level and the description of a new species of Cheracebus is not unexpected.

Phenotypic evolution in marmoset and tamarin monkeys (Cebidae, Callitrichinae) and a revised genus-level classification.

A New Species of Titi Monkey, Plecturocebus Byrne et al., 2016 (Primates, Pitheciidae), from Southwestern Amazonia, Brazil

A phylogenetic analysis of the new titi revealed a monophyletic clade with the four geographically closest species, and four scenarios of species delimitation indicated that speciation was recent.

Molecular phylogeny of new world primates (Platyrrhini) based on beta2-microglobulin DNA sequences.

A phylogenetic arrangement for all neotropical primate genera obtained from DNA sequence analyses of the beta2-microglobulin gene is presented, indicating that the evolution of gross morphological characteristics and molecular traits is not necessarily congruent.

New species of titi monkey, genus Callicebus Thomas, 1903 (Primates, Pitheciidae), from Southern Amazonia, Brazil

The goal of the present study is to describe a new species of callicebus belonging to the Callicebus moloch species group, recently discovered in an area previously considered to be part of the geographic distribution of C. cinerascens.

Development and application of a phylogenomic toolkit: resolving the evolutionary history of Madagascar's lemurs.

The phylogenomic toolkit is used to develop 11 novel markers from nine chromosomes, representing approximately 9 kb of nuclear sequence data, and yields a data set of more than 16 kb that will be of value to other studies of primate phylogeny and diversification.

Macroevolutionary Dynamics and Historical Biogeography of Primate Diversification Inferred from a Species Supermatrix

A robust molecular phylogeny for 70 primate genera and 367 primate species is generated based on a concatenation of 69 nuclear gene segments and ten mitochondrial gene sequences, most of which were extracted from GenBank to find support for the hypothesis that the most recent common ancestor of living Primates resided in Asia.

A phylogenetic study of titi monkeys, genusCallicebus, based on cranial measurements: I. Phyletic groups ofCallicebus

Five distinct groups were recognized morphometrically among the 23 species and subspecies of Callicebus, and it could be safely concluded that these groups represented phylogenetically independent groups, in view of the fact that the rate of character differentiation was not appreciably different among closely related groups.

Multispecies Coalescent Analysis of the Early Diversification of Neotropical Primates: Phylogenetic Inference under Strong Gene Trees/Species Tree Conflict

It is shown, by multispecies coalescent analyses of selected genome segments, that the early diversification of extant NP was marked by a 2-fold increase of their effective population size and that Atelids and Cebids are more closely related respective to Pitheciids.

Origin, Speciation, and Distribution of South American Titi Monkeys, Genus Callicebus (Family Cebidae, Platyrrhini)

The postulation holds that one or a few family groups of most nearly related Callicebus cupreus and C. caligatus in a west bank oxbow of the Rio Purus, were cut off and thrust into debatably uncolonized east bank territory, and Hybridization ensued as an al- ternative to inbreeding.

Successive radiations, not stasis, in the South American primate fauna

It is concluded that Dolichocebus, Tremacebus, and Chilecebus are likely too old to be crown platyrrhines, suggesting they were part of an extinct early radiation, which follows a global temperature peak and tectonic activity in the Andes.

A new species of Callicebus Thomas, 1903 (Primates, Pitheciidae) from the states of Mato Grosso and Pará, Brazil

The main diagnostic characteristics of the new species are the whitish forehead, sideburns and beard coloration, which are contiguous, forming a frame around the blackish face, and overall body pelage coloration is pale grayish-brown agouti.

Geographic distribution and possible taxonomic distinction of Callicebus torquatus populations (Pitheciidae: Primates) in Peruvian Amazonia

Although the Rio Itaya population is phenotypically identical to populations from the rivers Nanay and Tigre, it differs from population on the rivers Napo and Putumayo, which suggests the existence of two disjunct populations of C. torquatus in Peruvian Amazonia whose taxonomic status warrants further examination.
