In this study, protein electrophoresis was assayed to detect genetic variation in GenusNycticebus. A total of 29 samples (2N. coucang and 27N. pygmaeus) were analyzed for 42 genetic loci. In the 27 samples ofN. pygmaeus, 4 loci were observed to be polymerphic. Therefore, the estimatedP value (proportion of polymorphic loci) is 0.095, theA value (average number of alleles each locus) is 1.045, and theH value (mean individual heterozygosity) is 0.040. After comparing theH ofN. pygmaeus with those…

Behaviour of Pottos and Angwantibos

This chapter reviews existing research on social behaviour, mating and parental care, feeding and food acquisition, as well as positional and defensive behaviour in pottos and angwantibos, and highlights their major differences.

The Soft-Tissue Anatomy of the Highly Derived Hand ofPerodicticusRelative to the More GeneralisedNycticebus

The African lorisid subfamily Perodicticinae includes the slow-moving angwantibos (Arctocebus) and the pottos (Perodicticus) (Lambert, 2014), the focal taxon of this chapter. The distinguishing…

Protein variation, taxonomy and differentiation in five species of marmosets (genusCallithrixErxleben, 1777)

The electrophoretic patterns of 15 protein systems codified for 20 genetic loci were investigated using horizontal electrophoresis and revealed a phylogenetic separation of these species into two groups: “argentata” and “jacchus”.

Mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms in 15 specimens of three species of slow lorises-Nycticebus coucang, N. intermedius, andN. pygmaeus-were analyzed in order to study the evolutionary relationships…

Protein electrophoretic variability in Saimiri and the question of its species status

The data suggest that there is only one large, polytypic species of squirrel monkeys in South America, S. sciureus, forming a contiguous ring of geographical races or subspecies, two of the most differentiated forms meet at the Peruvian Amazonia where natural hybrids and secondary intergradation have been reported.

Studies on the chromosomes of genusNycticebus

The karyotypes of three species of genusNycticebus, collected from the southern Yunnan of China, have been studied, and the results suggest that there are at least two valid species, namely: N. coucang andN.

Biochemical Genetic Variation in Eight Endangered or Threatened Felid Species

The description of 50 distinct polymorphisms provides a genetic baseline of potential use in the management and captive breeding of felid populations and identifies two subspecies of tigers that were both polymorphic in Bengal tigers but monomorphic in Siberian tigers.

GENETIC VARIATIONS WITHIN AND BETWEEN SPECIES OF ASIAN MACAQUES

It is considered that a biologically more acceptable system of classification of the Asian macaques could be reconstructed by lowering the so-called “genus” to the rank of species and the “species’ to theRank of subspecies.

Biochemical diversity and genetic distance in two species of the genusSaguinus

A comparative study of 20 blood genetic systems was performed on three populations of genusSaguinus: S. fuscicollis weddelli, S.Midas niger, and S. midas midas, which showed heterozygosity value comparable to those previously obtained for the genusAlouatta.

Population genetics of Japanese monkeys: III. Ancestry and differentiation of local populations

The observed distribution pattern that the plesiomorphic variant allele at the PGM-II locus concentrated only in the peripheral (southernmost, northernmost, and easternmost) ranges of the species, would indicate, as a possibility, the occurrence of two or more waves of immigration of ancestors of the present-day Japanese macaque from the Asian continent.

It is suggested that the social structure of such primates will not itself produce the high levels of homozygosity necessary for rapid speciation, but it will make such levels more likely in the event of geographical or ecological isolation.
