However, if the birthing characteristics of the animals in our study are typical of night monkeys, it suggests that admixed populations may play a significant role in hybrid chromosome differentiation and hybrid speciation, as has been argued in plants and animals (e.g., Rieseberg 2001; Ostberg et al. 2013). These may prove to be important conditions for reticulate speciation of night monkeys ...
