“…Another character (number of sternal ribs) was included in the skeletal characters because of variation (3-4 ribs). We selected only two chromosomal characters because the number of meta-and submetacentric chromosomes and the number of telo-and subtelocentric as proposed by may result from the same evolutionary phenomena (i.e., they can be redundant characters), and because there is no banding studies at hand (as were suggested by Borowik, 1995), homology for these characters should be assumed with caution.…”

“…However, karyotypes need to be obtained from more taxa, and banding techniques extended to all of these so that inferences of homology, and the kinds of rearrangements that might diagnose historical entities, are unambiguous. These classes of high-resolution chromosomal data can then be coded on the basis of individual characters, and included in an extended phylogenetic analysis (see Borowik, 1995;Flores-Villela et al, 2000, for recent examples).…”

A molecular phylogeny was reconstructed for 26 recognized genera of the Gymnophthalmidae using a total of 2379 bp of mitochondrial (12S, 16s and ND4) and nuclear (18s and c-mos) DNA sequences. We performed maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML) analyses, and data partitions were analysed separately and in combination under MP. ML analyses were carried out only on the combined sequences for computational simplicity. Robustness for the recovered nodes was assessed with bootstrap and partitioned Bremer support (PBS) analyses. The total molecular evidence provided a better-resolved hypothesis than did separate analysis of individual partitions, and the PBS analysis indicates congruence among independent partitions for support of some internal nodes. Based on this hypothesis, a new classification for the family is proposed. Alopoglossus, the sister group of all the other Gymnophthalmidae was allocated to a new subfamily Alopoglossinae, and Rhachisaums (a new genus for Anotosaura brachylepis) to the new Rhachisaurinae. Two tribes are recognized within the subfamily Gymnophthalminae: Heterodactylini and Gymnophthalmini, and two others within Cercosaurinae (Ecpleopini and Cercosaurini). Some ecological and evolutionary implications of the phylogenetic hypothesis are considered, including the independent occurrence of limb reduction, body elongation, and other characters associated with fossoriality.

“…This conclusion is supported by the observation that h7 paints a single chromosome in Equus, Felis, Phoca, Cebus, Callithrix, Macaca, Presbytis, Colobus and the great apes. Despite this conservation of gene content, gene order has undergone recent rearrangement because comparative cytogenetics suggests that at least two inversions of h7öone pericentric and the other paracentricöhave occurred in the human lineage since we diverged from our common ancestor with orang-utans (Borowik 1995). The pericentric inversion might explain why loci from p9 and p18, and loci from m5, m6 and m12, map to both arms of h7.…”

Comparative gene mapping and chromosome painting permit the tentative reconstruction of ancestral karyotypes. The modern human karyotype is proposed to differ from that of the most recent common ancestor of catarrhine primates by two major rearrangements. The first was the fission of an ancestral chromosome to produce the homologues of human chromosomes 14 and 15. This fission occurred before the divergence of gibbons from humans and other apes. The second was the fusion of two ancestral chromosomes to form human chromosome 2. This fusion occurred after the divergence of humans and chimpanzees. Moving further back in time, homologues of human chromosomes 3 and 21 were formed by the fission of an ancestral linkage group that combined loci of both human chromosomes, whereas homologues of human chromosomes 12 and 22 were formed by a reciprocal translocation between two ancestral chromosomes. Both events occurred at some time after our most recent common ancestor with lemurs. Less direct evidence suggests that the short and long arms of human chromosomes 8, 16 and 19 were unlinked in this ancestor. Finally, the most recent common ancestor of primates and artiodactyls is proposed to have possessed a chromosome that combined loci from human chromosomes 4 and 8p, a chromosome that combined loci from human chromosomes 16q and 19q, and a chromosome that combined loci from human chromosomes 2p and 20.
