Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: One of the greatest challenges for evolutionary biologists is explaining the vast diversity observed in nature. On Sulawesi Island, macaque species (genus Macaca) have rapidly diverged from their common ancestor, displaying remarkable variability in body morphology and coat color. Despite low overall genetic variation among these macaques, limited hybridization occurs between neighboring species,...
