Molecular Phylogenetic Relationships and Unveiling Novel Genetic Diversity among Slow and Pygmy Lorises, including Resurrection of Xanthonycticebus intermedius

Abstract: Genetic analysis of historical museum collections presents an opportunity to clarify the evolutionary history of understudied primate groups, improve taxonomic inferences, and inform conservation efforts. Among the most understudied primate groups, slow and pygmy lorises (genera Nycticebus and Xanthonycticebus) are nocturnal strepsirrhines found in South and Southeast Asia. Previous molecular studies have supported five species, but studies using morphological data suggest the existence of at least nine specie… Show more

“…5 However, most studies to date have suffered from poor species-level sampling, and several new species have been identified in recent years, making lorisiform taxonomy and diversification a subject of continuing discussion. 8,45,46 Our macroevolutionary rate analyses (Fig. 2A, Figs.…”

“…There are examples of collections-based research being used to inform conservation actions, planning, or policies, such as determining the historical distributions of living and extinct species to inform protected area planning and monitoring (Arengo et al, 2018), resolving taxonomic issues to inform species assessments and wildlife trade management (Blair et al, 2023;Penna et al, 2024), and assessing anthropogenic impacts on genetic diversity and species extinctions (as reviewed in Benham & Bowie [2023] and Jensen et al [2022]). However, collection-derived DNA in general has been underutilized for conservation (Jensen et al, 2022); as such, there is not yet a standardized framework with best practices to inform conservation decisions based on DNA derived from natural history collections.…”

“…The slow and pygmy lorises (Primates, Strepsirrhini, Lorisinae) (hereon referred to collectively as slow lorises) are nocturnal primates with at least ten species in two genera distributed across southeast Asia ( Nycticebus bengalensis Lacépède 1800, N. bancanus Lyon, 1906, N. borneanus Lyon, 1906, N. kayan Munds, Nekaris and Ford 2013, N. menagensis Lydekker 1893, N. coucang Boddaert 1785, N. hilleri Stone and Rehn, 1902, N. javanicus Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1812, Xanthonyticebus pygameus Bonhote, 1907 and X. intermedius Dao Van Tien, 1960) [ 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ]. Several morphological traits characterise slow lorises, partly linked to their dedicated tree dwelling nature and specialised diet of exudates [ 54 ].…”
