Abstract: | Background The evolutionary history of the Asian colobines is less understood. Although monophyly of the odd-nosed monkeys was recently
confirmed, the relationships among the langur genera Presbytis, Semnopithecus and Trachypithecus and their position among Asian colobines remained unclear. Moreover, in Trachypithecus various species groups are recognized, but their affiliations are still disputed. To address these issues, mitochondrial
and Y chromosomal sequence data were phylogenetically related and combined with presence/absence analyses of retroposon integrations. |
