Karyotypic study ofCallicebus coimbrai: a rare and threatened primate species from Brazil

Abstract: Abstract-The genus Callicebus comprises 28 species distributed in the Amazonia and Atlantic forest biomes. This paper describes the karyotype of C. coimbrai, a rare and threatened species and compares it with related species (C. personatus and C. nigri/rons). The karyotype was characterized by G-, C-sequential and NOR banding. C. coimbrai presented 2n=44 chromosomes, with G-banding pattern similar to that observed in C. personatus (2n=44) and C. nigri/rons (2n=42). The karyotypic divergence between C. coimbrai… Show more

“…Our results support this status for the personatus group, since chromosomal painting revealed 4 fusions (1b/1c, 3c/8b, 20/13, 21/3a/15a/14) and one fission event (2a; 2a/22) in CPE that were not shared with C. pallescens and C. cupreus [Barros et al, 2003, Dumas et al, 2005. As G-banding comparisons suggest that the C. personatus karyotype is highly similar to those of C. nigrifrons and C. coimbrai [Rodrigues et al, 2006], we could hypothesize that the same fusions/fission rearrangements may also be present in the latter 2 species. Such chromosomal traits could be interpreted as synapomorphies for the personatus group; however, additional species must be mapped to test this hypothesis.…”

“…Their diploid numbers range from 16 chromosomes in C. lugens [Bonvicino et al, 2003] to 50 chromosomes in C. donacophilus , C. pallescens , and C. hoffmannsi [De Boer, 1974;Minezawa and Borda, 1984;Stanyon et al, 2000;Rodrigues et al, 2001]. Classical cytogenetic methods, such as G-banding, C-banding and NOR silver-nitrate staining, have been used to examine the chromosomal rearrangements involved in the karyotypic divergence of Callicebus [for review see Minezawa and Borda, 1984;Pieczarka and Nagamachi, 1988;Minezawa et al, 1989;Barros et al, 2000;Rodrigues et al, 2001Rodrigues et al, , 2004Rodrigues et al, , 2006Bonvicino et al, 2003;Nagamachi et al, 2003].…”

“…Titi monkeys (Pitheciidae; subfamily Callicebinae) are a monophyletic clade of pair-bonded species exhibiting biparental care [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ] and in which the taxonomy remains contentious [ 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 ], with several taxa being re-evaluated and/or newly described within last two decades [ 59 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ]. Until recently, our understanding of the taxonomy and phylogeny of titi monkeys was based mainly on biogeographical, morphological, and anatomical criteria complemented by chromosome analysis [ 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 ]. However, recent molecular studies involving multiple genetic markers [ 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 ] have prompted a reassessment of phylogenetic and biogeographic relationships among the various titi taxa, leading Byrne et al [ 62 ] to split the former genus Callicebus into three genera, including Plecturocebus (with 22 species) and Cheracebus (with six species), which together are distributed in the Amazon and Chaco ecoregions, and Callicebus (with five species), which is endemic to eastern Brazil.…”
