Parallel episodes of phyletic dwarfism in callitrichid and cheirogaleid primates.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Apr 2013

Montgomery S H, Mundy N I

Abstract excerpt

The Callitrichidae are the smallest anthropoids, whereas the Cheirogaleidae include the smallest of all primates. Using species-level analyses, we show that these are derived conditions; both neonatal and adult body mass decreased in a gradual, phyletic manner in parallel across callitrichids, an...
