“…Their diploid numbers range from 16 chromosomes in C. lugens [Bonvicino et al, 2003] to 50 chromosomes in C. donacophilus , C. pallescens , and C. hoffmannsi [De Boer, 1974;Minezawa and Borda, 1984;Stanyon et al, 2000;Rodrigues et al, 2001]. Classical cytogenetic methods, such as G-banding, C-banding and NOR silver-nitrate staining, have been used to examine the chromosomal rearrangements involved in the karyotypic divergence of Callicebus [for review see Minezawa and Borda, 1984;Pieczarka and Nagamachi, 1988;Minezawa et al, 1989;Barros et al, 2000;Rodrigues et al, 2001Rodrigues et al, , 2004Rodrigues et al, , 2006Bonvicino et al, 2003;Nagamachi et al, 2003].…”
