Our findings showed different MT-CO1, MT-CO2, MT-CYB and SRY haplotypes between Aotus species although some SRY haplotypes differed by only one nucleotide (see Figure 2A), as was the case of A. infulatus (IN2) when compared to A. azarae boliviensis (AB1) and A. nigriceps(NI2). Identification based on MT-CO2was shown to be unreliable for closely rel...
Analyses of the different datasets showed that Dat-CO1 contained the highest number of PI sites (182), closely followed by Dat-CYB (181), while Dat-CO2, showed the lowest number (66). This might be related to the smaller size of MT-CO2 (696 bp) respective to MT-CO1 (1,557 bp) and MT-CYB (1,140 bp) although a similar number of PI sites was found in ...
Our phylogenetic reconstructions question the classical grouping of red neck and grey neck species proposed by Hershkovitz . All phylogenetic reconstructions based on mtDNA showed that the lineage leading to the grey neck species A. trivirgatus was a sister lineage of the one leading to the red neck clade (A. nigriceps (A. azarae, A. infulatus)). I...

What is the genus Aotus?
The Colombian night monkey is a small Latin American (Platyrrhini) species from the family Aotidae and genus Aotus. Prior to 1983, all night monkeys were classified as one or two species (Aotus lemurinus and Aotus azarae). At that time, chromosome variations led to the proposal of nine species.
