    Phylogenetic relationships among the Lorisoidea as indicated by craniodental morphology and mitochondrial sequence data

    AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PRIMATOLOGY, Issue 1 2007
    Judith C. Masters
    Abstract The phylogeny of the Afro-Asian Lorisoidea is controversial. While postcranial data attest strongly to the monophyly of the Lorisidae, most molecular analyses portray them as paraphyletic and group the Galagidae alternately with the Asian or African lorisids. One of the problems that has bedevilled phylogenetic analysis of the group in the past is the limited number of taxa sampled for both ingroup families. We present the results of a series of phylogenetic analyses based on 635 base pairs (bp) from two mitochondrial genes (12S and 16S rRNA) with and without 36 craniodental characters, for 11 galagid and five lorisid taxa. The outgroup was the gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus). Analyses of the molecular data included maximum parsimony (MP), neighbor joining (NJ), maximum likelihood (ML), and Bayesian methods. The model-based analyses and the combined "molecules+morphology" analyses supported monophyly of the Lorisidae and Galagidae. The lorisids form two geographically defined clades. We find no support for the taxonomy of Galagidae as proposed recently by Groves [Primate Taxonomy, Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution Press. 350 p, 2001]. The taxonomy of Nash et al. [International Journal of Primatology 10:57,80, 1989] is supported by the combined "molecules+morphology" analysis; however, the model-based analyses suggest that Galagoides may be an assemblage of species united by plesiomorphic craniodental characters.
