TL;DR: The resolution of the primate phylogeny provides an essential evolutionary framework with far-reaching applications including: human selection and adaptation, global emergence of zoonotic diseases, mammalian comparative genomics, primate taxonomy, and conservation of endangered species.

TL;DR: The authors provided new genomic sequence (,8 Mb) from 186 primates representing 61 (,90%) of the described genera, and included outgroup species from Dermoptera, Scandentia, and Lagomorpha.

TL;DR: The aim is to provide a baseline for future taxonomic investigation, as well as a clearer focus for research and conservation priorities, and to review the current understanding of the diversity and current and past ranges of lemurs and indicate where there is controversy, discrepancy, or lack of knowledge.

TL;DR: The karyotypes of three Lepilemuridae species, Lepileur ruficaudatus, L leucopus, and L septentrionalis, are described and compared.

TL;DR: The results support the classification of the eight major sportive lemur taxa as independent species and indicate further cryptic speciation events within L. ruficaudatus and L. dorsalis.
