1 Survey of the Primates Classification of the order Primates Classification of the order Primates Superfamily: End -OIDEA Family: End -IDAE CebOIDEA CebIDAE Subfamily: End -INAE Genus and species: Both in italic or underline; First letter of genus= capital letter ColobINAE Pongo pygmaeus 1
2 Alternative classification Order Suborder Prosimii Primates Anthropoidea Lemurs, lorises, galagos and tarsiers Monkeys, apes and humans Order Suborder Strepsirhini Primates Haplorhini Lemurs, lorises, galagos Tarsiers, monkeys, apes and humans Classification of the order Primates Suborder Prosimii - Prosimians Prosimii Lemuriformes Lorisiformes Tarsiiformes Early diverging primitive (retained more ancestral traits) 2
3 Prosimian Characteristics: Found in Africa, Asia, Indonesia Lorisiformes Lemuriformes Tarsiformes Prosimian Characteristics: Nocturnal (mostly) Large eyes Tapetum (layer of cells that cause eye shine ) Independently mobile ears Immobile upper lip Inexpressive face Rely on scent marking Strepsirhine (Lemurs and Lorises) Characteristics: 3
4 Strepsirhine (Lemurs and Lorises) Characteristics: Rhinarium most hairless pad at end of nose; enhances sense of smell Main mode of locomotion: Vertical clinging and leaping Lemuriformes: Prosimii Lemuriformes Lorisiformes Tarsiiformes Contains 5 families and a total of more than 20 species great diversity in infraorder lemuriformes. 4
5 Adaptive Radiation the multiplication and diversification of an evolving lineage, producing many descendent species Occurs when new adaptive opportunities become available new environments/habitats or new adaptive potential in the lineage Ex. Lemurs on Madagascar, Mammals in the early Cenozoic Lemuriformes includes the smallest primates (the mouse lemur, not the gorilla) Lemuriformes Only found on the island of Madagascar 5
6 Lemuriformes Smaller lemurs tend to be nocturnal, insectivorous, and solitary Aye-aye Lemuriformes Lemurs Larger lemurs tend to be diurnal with diverse diets and social organizations Some arboreal Some terrestrial Indris & sifakas Ringtailed Lemurs Classification of the order Primates 6
7 Lorisiformes Characteristics: Prosimii Lemuriformes Lorisiformes Tarsiiformes Contains 2 Families: Galagidae Lorisidae Lorisiformes Strictly Nocturnal (active at night) Shared common ancestor with lemurs in the Eocene Why did some lemurs become diurnal, but no lorises did? Competition on mainland Africa Lorisiformes are solitary Diet insects and fruit Lorisiformes Characteristics: Prosimii Lemuriformes Lorisiformes Tarsiiformes Contains 2 Families: Galagidae VCL, Africa only Lorisidae Slow climbers, Africa and SE Asia 7
8 Lorisiformes Family Galagidae galagos and bushbabies vertical clingers and leapers geographic range: Mainland Africa Lorisiformes Lorisidae lorises, slow lorises, angwantibos, and pottos slow climbers Geographic range: Mainland Africa and S.E. Asia Classification of the order Primates 8
9 Tarsiiformes Characteristics: Prosimii Lemuriformes Lorisiformes Tarsiiformes Only one living genus (Tarsius) and 5 species Tarsiiformes Genus Tarsius Tarsiiformes distribution Found only in Southeast Asia 9
10 Alternative classification Order Suborder Prosimii Primates Anthropoidea Lemurs, lorises, galagos and tarsiers Monkeys, apes and humans Order Suborder Strepsirhini Primates Haplorhini Lemurs, lorises, galagos Tarsiers, monkeys, apes and humans Tarsiers Taxonomically intermediate between lemurs/lorises and monkeys/apes Don t really fit separate suborder? Living fossil? Haplorrhine designation reflects important differences between tarsiers and lemurs/lorises (strepsirrhines) Dry nose (no rhinarium) No tapetum (despite being nocturnal) No dental comb Other features like post orbital closure, unfused mandibular symphasis, bicornate uteris Unique Tarsiers characteristics Elongated tarsal bones- great leapers Largest eyes relative to body size of any living creature (cannot be moved in their sockets) Can swivel their necks 180º in either direction 10
11 Classification of the order Primates Suborder Anthropoidea Monkeys, Apes, and Humans All diurnal (except one - Owl monkey) Rely less on scent (olfaction) than prosimians Reduced sense of smell and hearing Flatter faces Dry noses Mobile upper lip more expressive faces Small immobile ears Suborder Anthropoidea 11
12 Suborder Anthropoidea Suborder Anthropoidea Infraorder Platyrrhini Catarrhini Flat, side facing nostrils New World Monkeys Downward facing nostrils Old World Monkeys, Apes and Humans Suborder Anthropoidea Platyrrhini Catarrhini Platyrrhini Catarrhini 12
13 Classification of the order Primates New World Monkeys Classification of New World Monkeys Platyrrhini Ceboidea Callitrichidae Cebidae Atelidae New World Monkeys Distribution Found in the new world Mexico Central+South America Also called neotropical monkeys, or neotropical primates 13
14 Traits of New World Monkeys All have tails Some have prehensile tails Smaller body size than OWM All arboreal Many Old World Monkeys are terrestrial. Why no New World? Greater predation pressure for a relatively small-bodied radiation? Availability of productive savannah-type habitats is lower in the neotropics? Classification of New World Monkeys Platyrrhini Ceboidea Callitrichidae Cebidae Atelidae 14
15 Family Callitrichidae: Marmosets and Tamarins Smallest monkeys Claws instead of nails (except big toe) Pair bonded Twins Male care of infants Sexually monomorphic Territorial Family Callitrichidae Classification of New World Monkeys Platyrrhini Ceboidea Callitrichidae Cebidae Atelidae 15
