This thesis combines indirect and direct approaches to understanding primate evolution, by evaluating variation in the endocranial morphology of extant primates and their fossil representatives. (duke.edu)
Finally, despite the correlation between residual endocranial volume and endocast shape among modern primates, early anthropoid fossils demonstrate a disconnect between these factors in sharing key features of endocast shape with extant anthropoids at a relatively small brain size. (duke.edu)
Among extant primates, there is weak but significant evidence to suggest that both facial size and encephalization influence variation in basicranial flexion. (duke.edu)
Tarsiers are prosimian primates of the genus Tarsius, a monotypic genus in the family Tarsiidae, which is itself the lone extant family within the infraorder Tarsiiformes. (perhapanauts.com)
The phylogenetic position of extant tarsiers within the order Primates has been debated for much of the past century, and tarsiers have alternately been classified with strepsirrhine primates in the suborder Prosimii, or as the sister group to the simians (=Anthropoidea) in the infraorder Haplorrhini. (perhapanauts.com)
Tarsiiformes /ˈtɑːrsi.ɪfɔːrmiːz/ are a group of primates that once ranged across Europe, northern Africa, Asia, and North America, but whose extant species are all found in the islands of Southeast Asia. (scientificlib.com)
However, there is no study to our knowledge that specifically investigated the evolution of copy number variable subexonic repeats from their initial emergence as functional units to the adaptive constraints and mutational properties that contributed to their extant variation in primates.

r&l�I��+�: ?I����v���c�%+���5 Although Brazil possesses more primate species, Indonesia outranks it in terms of its diversity of primates, ranging from prosimians (slow lorises and tarsiers), to a multitude of Old World Monkey species (macaques, langurs, proboscis moneys) to lesser apes (siamangs, gibbons) and great apes (orangutans). (utistop.co.uk)
Haplorrhini (the haplorhines or the "dry-nebbed" primates, the Greek name means "simple-nebbed") is a clade conteenin the tarsiers an the simians (or anthropoids). (wikipedia.org)
Extinct4
4] Two extinct genera, Xanthorhysis and Afrotarsius, are considered to be close relatives of the living tarsiers, and are generally classified within Tarsiiformes, with the former grouped within family Tarsiidae, and the latter listed as incertae sedis (undefined). (scientificlib.com)
3] Omomyids are generally considered to be extinct relatives, or even ancestors, of the living tarsiers, and are often classified within Tarsiiformes. (scientificlib.com)
Generally accepted members of this infraorder include the living tarsiers,[1] the extinct omomyids, two extinct fossil genera, and two extinct fossil species within the genus Tarsius. (scientificlib.com)
The relationships between all of these different extant and extinct organisms on our planet are amazingly intricate and complex. (hawaii.edu)
Species3
All tarsier species are nocturnal in their habits, but like many nocturnal organisms some individuals may show more or less activity during the daytime. (perhapanauts.com)
This possum is the only extant species in the genus Burramys. (tinyblue.info)
Currently, there are only three extant (living) species of orangutan, all of which are considered to be critically endangered. (outforia.com)
Include the tarsiers1
They are divided into the strepsirrhines, which include the lemurs, galagos, and lorisids, and the haplorhines, which include the tarsiers and the simians (monkeys, including apes and humans). (wikipedia.org)
Haplorhini1
The analysis supports previous research, which concludes that anthropoids and tarsiers (Haplorhini) share the enlargement of several key brain regions including the neocortex and visual systems, and a reduction of the olfactory system. (duke.edu)
Slow lorises1
Research is only just beginning to reveal the full extent of slow lorises' biological diversity. (neprimateconservancy.org)
Primate4
Fossil taxa are crucial to studies of brain evolution, as they allow us to identify evolutionary trends in relative brain size and brain shape that may not otherwise be identifiable in comparative studies using only extant taxa, owing to multiple events of parallel encephalization among primate clades. (duke.edu)
I use a comparative approach to examine the relationships between interspecific adult endocranial volume and shape, and brain evolution and cranial form among extant primate clades and their fossil representatives. (duke.edu)
Zanzibar red colobus: Procolobus kirkii: 2,000: EN This practical volume brings together a group of distinguished primate researchers to synthesize field, laboratory, and conservation management techniques for primate ecology and conservation. (utistop.co.uk)
The Philippine Tarsier, a tiny primate endemic to the Philippines, is another draw in Bohol. (operativeinfo.com)
Tarsius1
In 2010, Colin Groves and Myron Shekelle suggested splitting the living tarsiers into three genera: Tarsius, Cephalopachus, and Carlito. (scientificlib.com)
A long-standing question in neurobiology is to what extent brain architecture and/or neural connections underlie behavioral differences observed among people. (scentoferos.com)
Small1
This effect was actually cultivated by tube manufacturers to a certain extent, as a small, carefully controlled amount of the dark halo has the effect of crispening the visual epvp due to the contrast effect. (artiperde.com.tr)
Lemurs5
They are divided into the strepsirrhines, which include the lemurs, galagos, and lorisids, and the haplorhines, which include the tarsiers and the simians (monkeys, including apes and humans). (wikipedia.org)
Hominoids, on the other hand, include all simians-which are monkeys, tarsiers, lemurs, and lorises-and any extinct group that is more closely related to simians than to any other living mammals. (differencebetweenz.com)
The Prosimii prosimians probably resemble early arboreal primates and include the lemurs of Madagascar and the lorises, pottos, and tarsiers of tropical Africa and southern Asia. (revacure.nl)
Much like today's new and old-world monkeys, lemurs, tarsiers, and bush-babies, these animals had an extensive tail, probably to help them keep their balance while striding through the tree-tops. (sciencealert.com)
These are typically larger than extant lemurs, with the largest, Archaeoindris , being the size of a gorilla. (wikipedia.org)
Monkeys2
Divergence and maximum parsimony analyses of the Ψη genomic region first groups humans and chimpanzees and then, at progressively more ancient branch points, successively joins gorillas, orangutans, gibbons, Old World monkeys, New World monkeys, tarsiers, and strepsirhines (the lemuriform-lorisiform branch of primates). (nyu.edu)
Old World monkeys are grouped in Catarrhini with apes of the Old World (all extant species of which are tailless). (newworldencyclopedia.org)
Hominoids2
This cladistic pattern supports the taxonomic grouping of all extant hominoids into family Hominidae, the division of Hominidae into subfamilies Hylobatinae (gibbons) and Homininae, the division of Homininae into tribes Pongini (orangutans) and Hominini, and the division of Hominini into subtribes Gorillina (gorillas) and Hominina (chimpanzees and humans). (nyu.edu)

Not surprising they would realize the power of the media and I'm certain this still happens today to some extent it's easier in 'third world' nations where mass communications are limited. (findadeathforum.com)
