“…5b and Baskin 1989Baskin , 2004Decker and Wozencraft 1991;Ahrens 2012). However, molecular data analyses (Koepfli et al 2007;Eizirik et al 2010) have contested the groupings obtained with morphological data alone by considering that morphology-based assessments reflect convergences associated with similar lifestyles and diets rather than ancestry. These inconsistencies provide a debatable scenario while further studies hopefully provide better evidence.…”

“…Other factors resulted in a second wave of procyonid migration long after the full closure of the Panama isthmus, as physical connection between the Americas was present at ca 3 Ma. However, molecular studies have demonstrated that the diversification leading to the extant Procyonidae occurred in the early Miocene (∼20 Ma), while the divergence times between coatis and raccoons occurred in the late Miocene (∼8-7 and 5.7-5 Ma, respectively) (Koepfli et al 2007;Eizirik et al 2010) well before the full closure of the Panama isthmus. This scenario requires a clear bias in the fossil record, long ghost lineages, and an evolutionary history of the living taxa that precedes the GABI.…”

We report two fossil procyonids, Cyonasua sp. and Chapalmalania sp., from the late Pliocene of Venezuela (Vergel Member, San Gregorio Formation) and Colombia (Ware Formation), respectively. The occurrence of these preHolocene procyonids outside Argentina and in the north of South America provides further information about the Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI). The new specimens are recognized in the same monophyletic group as procyonids found in the southern part of the continent, the "Cyonasua group," formed by species of Cyonasua and Chapalmalania. The phylogenetic analysis that includes the two new findings support the view that procyonids dispersed from North America in two separate events (initially, previous to the first major migration wave-GABI 1-and then within the last major migration wave-GABI 4-). This involved reciprocal lineage migrations from North to South America, and included the evolution of South American endemic forms.

“…A Bayesian inference (BI) was performed in MRBAYES3.2.1 [57], 1,000,000 steps of the MCMC algorithm (with trees sampled every 100 generations), and the posterior probabilities were calculated discarding 25 percent of the initial iterations as burn-in, after the stabilization of log-likelihood values. The phylogenetic trees were rooted using the cyt-b haplotype of Nasua nasua as outgroup, since this is the sister species of N. narica that inhabits South America [33].…”

However, genetic markers, even widely used microsatellites, have not been employed to describe the variability and genetic structure of different N. narica populations.…”

Patterns of Genetic Diversity of the White-Nosed Coati Reveals Phylogeographically Structured Subpopulations in Mexico

Coatis (Procyonidae; Nasua) are considered the only truly social mesocarnivore mammals in Neotropical forests. In Mexico, white-nosed coatis (Nasua narica) are suspected to have undergone population reduction due to habitat loss and fragmentation and led to a lack of genetic adaptability and genetic isolation throughout its range. We examined patterns of genetic diversity and connectivity of five populations of Nasua narica distributed throughout Mexico (n = 60) by sequencing an ≈ 800 bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene and also by screening 12 microsatellite loci. We found moderate to high levels of genetic variability for both genetic markers. We recorded twenty-two different cytochrome-b haplotypes throughout the 5 sampled areas and found that each of the sampled population of white-nosed coatis in Mexico harbors unique haplotypes and only three haplotypes were shared among two different populations that were closer geographically. All populations had high haplotype diversity (h) (0.968 ± 0.008 (SD)) but lower levels of nucleotide diversity (π) of 0.007 ± 0.001 (SD). All microsatellite loci were polymorphic in all of the populations and the mean number of alleles per locus was 5.033 ± 1.545 (SD) with expected (H E ) and observed (H O 32F IT = 0.310). Significant differences between the five populations confirmed isolation by distance, which suggests genetic structure among five subpopulations.

“…A complete phylogenetic analysis must take into account the now-vast amount of information embodied in molecular studies. Moreover, as noted, for example by Koepfli et al (2007), disagreement with prior fossil and morphology-based assessments often is accounted for by morphological similarities reflecting adaptive convergence rather than ancestry. Further, incongruence between the molecular and morphological datasets may be due to non-independence among developmentally and genetically correlated atomized morphological characters (e.g., Rosenberger, 2011).…”

a b s t r a c tMolecular data have converged on a consensus about the genus-level phylogeny of extant platyrrhine monkeys, but for most extinct taxa and certainly for those older than the Pleistocene we must rely upon morphological evidence from fossils. This raises the question as to how well anatomical data mirror molecular phylogenies and how best to deal with discrepancies between the molecular and morphological data as we seek to extend our phylogenies to the placement of fossil taxa.Here I present parsimony-based phylogenetic analyses of extant and fossil platyrrhines based on an anatomical dataset of 399 dental characters and osteological features of the cranium and postcranium.
