“…Given the absence of Lagothrix, the only Atelidae genus missing from our analysis, we can only evaluate the mtDNA data in the light of the following, and opposing, phylogenetic hypotheses. In one view Ateles, Brachyteles, and Lagothrix share a common ancestry independent from Alouatta (Ford, 1986;Rosenberger, 1981Rosenberger, , 1984Schneider et al, 1993). Opposing views indicate that Brachyteles and Alouatta derived from one ancestor while Ateles and Lagothrix arose from another (Kay, 1990), or that Lagothrix and Alouatta are sister genera (Dunlap et al, 1985).…”

“…Rosenberger, 1984;Ford, 1986;Kay, 1990). Nevertheless, recent studies of DNA sequences (Schneider et al, 1993Harada et al, 1995;Goodman, 1996;Barroso et al, 1997) have consistently supported an arrangement which recognizes only 15 genera, distributed in three families: Atelidae, Pitheciidae and Cebidae.…”

Phylogenetic relationships among Brazilian howler monkeys, genus Alouatta (Platyrrhini, Atelidae), based on <FONT FACE=Symbol>g</FONT>1-globin pseudogene sequences

The genus Alouatta (howler monkeys) is the most widely distributed of New World primates, and has been arranged in three species groups: the Central American Alouatta palliata group and the South American Alouatta seniculus and Alouatta caraya groups. While the latter is monotypic, the A. seniculus group encompasses at least three species (A. seniculus, A. belzebul and A. fusca). In the present study, approximately 600 base pairs of the γ 1 -globin pseudogene were sequenced in the four Brazilian species (A. seniculus, A. belzebul, A. fusca and A. caraya). Maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods yielded phylogenetic trees with the same arrangement: {A. caraya [A. seniculus (A. fusca, A. belzebul)]}. The most parsimonious tree had bootstrap values greater than 82% for all groupings, and strength of grouping values of at least 2, supporting the sister clade of A. fusca and A. belzebul. The study also confirmed the presence of a 150-base pair Alu insertion element and a 1.8-kb deletion in the γ 1 -globin pseudogene in A. fusca, features found previously in the remaining three species. The cladistic classification based on molecular data agrees with those of morphological studies, with the monospecific A. caraya group being clearly differentiated from the A. seniculus group.

“…Ateles and Brachyteles based on similarity in craniodental morphometry and shared locomotor behaviour and forelimb adaptations as advanced brachiators (Rosenberger 1984;Rosenberger & Strier 1989;Hartwig 1993;Cole 1995). Our phylogenetic analyses found no support for an Ateles-Brachyteles clade, with several post-cranial adaptations linked to locomotor behaviour likely homoplasies (Jones 2008).…”

“…These include an Alouatta-Brachyteles and Ateles-Lagothrix dichotomy (Kay 1990;Horovitz & Meyer 1997;Horovitz et al 1998), Ateles basal-most and Alouatta-Brachyteles sister to Lagothrix (Kay et al 2008;Kay 2015), or Alouatta as the basal lineage and either Ateles-Brachyteles sister to Lagothrix (Rosenberger 1984;Rosenberger & Strier 1989;Hartwig 1993;Cole 1995), Ateles-Lagothrix sister to Brachyteles (Cole et al 2002), or an unresolved trichotomy (Ford 1986). Alouatta-Brachyteles and Ateles-Lagothrix are respectively linked by folivory and frugivory, and a sister relationship between Ateles and Brachyteles maps to craniometric similarites and post-cranial adaptations associated with locomotion and brachiation (Rosenberger & Strier 1989;Hartwig 2005;Jones 2008).…”

We collected geometric morphometric data from the crania of atelid taxa for phylogenetic analysis of the cranium, cranial base and face, and tested the hypotheses that cranial data maintains a phylogenetic signal, cranial base morphology most closely reflects the atelid molecular phylogeny, and facial and overall cranial morphology areshaped by diet and haveexperienced greater homoplasy. All analyses supported genus monophyly, and facial morphology maintained a strong phylogenetic signal inferring the atelid molecular phylogeny and a sister relationship between Brachyteles and Lagothrix, whereas results from the cranial base and whole cranium supported Ateles-Lagothrix and/or Alouatta-Brachyteles clades reflecting homoplasy and ecological and dietary similarities. A phylogenetic signal in the atelid face is important for future studies integrating fossil taxa, and supports evidence that congruence between molecular and morphological phylogenetics in primates is module and clade-specific.
