Evolutionary morphology, cranial biomechanics and the origins of tarsiers and anthropoids

During the Time of Messel, the dominant groups of primates were the adapiform strepsirhines and the tarsiiform haplorhines, both important in discussions of anthropoid origins. Living tarsiers are at the centre of these ideas as one school of thought, representing the Tarsier-Anthropoid Hypothesis, holds they are the sister-group of Anthropoidea. The Tarsier-Tarsiiform Hypothesis, however, main...

Astragalar morphology of Afradapis, a large adapiform primate from the earliest late Eocene of Egypt.

The ∼37 million-year-old Birket Qarun Locality 2 (BQ-2), in the Birket Qarun Formation of Egypt's Fayum Depression, yields evidence for a diverse primate fauna, including the earliest known lorisiforms, parapithecoid anthropoids, and Afradapis longicristatus, a large folivorous adapiform. Phylogenetic analysis has placed Afradapis as a stem strepsirrhine within a clade of caenopithecine adapifo...

A new primate from the Eocene Pondaung Formation of Myanmar and the monophyly of Burmese amphipithecids.

The family Amphipithecidae is one of the two fossil primate taxa from Asia that appear to be early members of the anthropoid clade. Ganlea megacanina, gen. et sp. nov., is a new amphipithecid from the late middle Eocene Pondaung Formation of central Myanmar. The holotype of Ganlea is distinctive in having a relatively enormous lower canine showing heavy apical wear, indicating an important func...

On the existence of a cherry-picking sequence

Recently, the minimum number of reticulation events that is required to simultaneously embed a collection P of rooted binary phylogenetic trees into a so-called temporal network has been characterized in terms of cherry-picking sequences. Such a sequence is a particular ordering on the leaves of the trees in P. However, it is well-known that not all collections of phylogenetic trees have a cher...

Deciding the existence of a cherry-picking sequence is hard on two trees

Here we show that deciding whether two rooted binary phylogenetic trees on the same set of taxa permit a cherry-picking sequence, a special type of elimination order on the taxa, is NP-complete. This improves on an earlier result which proved hardness for eight or more trees. Via a known equivalence between cherry-picking sequences and temporal phylogenetic networks, our result proves that it i...
