“…There are many potentially informative features of the skull and dentition that are not conducive to simple linear measurement, such as the presence or absence and shape of certain fossae or foramina. In fact, one recent analysis has identified multiple qualitative craniodental characters among the papionins that unite the same clades found here (65).…”

There are many cases of incongruence between phylogenetic hypotheses produced from morphological data and those produced from molecular data. In such instances, many researchers prefer to accept the results of molecular phylogenies. For example, in a recent analysis of primate phylogenies based on craniodental characters, Collard and Wood [Collard M, Wood BA (2000) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 97:5003-5006] argued that, because craniodental data do not yield relationships concordant with molecular studies, the results of studies that employ such characters must be considered suspect. As most of our knowledge of mammalian evolution and phylogenetic history comes from craniodental fossils, these results have dramatic implications. However, the aforementioned analysis did not take into account the potentially confounding effects of allometry on quantitative craniodental characters. In this article, we employ a previously undescribed narrow allometric coding method that accounts for such confounding influences in phylogenetic analyses of craniodental morphology. By using essentially the same raw data set as Collard and Wood [Collard M, Wood BA (2000) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 97:5003-5006], 65 quantitative craniodental characters were adjusted in a parsimony analysis for the primate tribe Papionini, a group of monkeys argued to display extensive homoplasy. The resulting phylogenetic tree was congruent with the phylogenetic tree based on molecular data for these species, thereby meeting the ''criterion of congruence.'' These results suggest that morphological data, when treated properly, can be considered as reliable as molecular data in phylogenetic reconstruction. Rather than accepting phylogenetic hypotheses from one data source over another, cases of incongruence should be examined with greater scrutiny. narrow allometry ͉ character coding ͉ papionins ͉ cladistics ͉ phylogeny

“…(Campbell et al, ), Brachyteles spp. (Dib, Oliva, & Strier, ; Mourthé et al, ; Tabacow, Mendes, & Strier, ), Cebus capucinus (Gilbert & Stouffer, ), and some pitheciin monkey genera (Barnett et al, ). These observations of terrestrial behavior are often associated with disturbed habitats whereby animals traverse open areas between forest fragments, potentially increasing their exposure to predators (Campbell et al, ; Takemoto, ).…”

“…Vertical niche expansion provides an alternative to extending home range areas or increasing daily travel distances, which may be limited by high population densities in fragmented habitats or energetic costs, respectively (Digby 2007). Natural and anthropogenic disturbances can also affect the continuity of arboreal substrates, necessitating terrestrial travel despite the persistence of predation risks (Bicca‐Marques and Calegaro‐Marques 1995; Dib et al 1997; Gilbert and Stouffer 1995; Lemos de Sá 1988; Pozo‐Montuy and Serio‐Silva 2007).…”

We present data on the spread of terrestrial activities in one group of wild northern muriqui monkeys (Brachyteles hypoxanthus). Both males and females consumed fruit, drank, rested, traveled, and socialized terrestrially, but proportionately more males spent significantly more of their time on the ground than females, and females were more likely to engage in terrestrial activities when accompanied by males than when by themselves. Terrestrial activities occurred in both open and closed habitats where arboreal substrates were available and utilized by other individuals engaged in similar activities. Ecological and demographic factors may have stimulated the muriquis' vertical niche expansion, but increases in the frequency and diversity of terrestrial activities, the high proportion of group members that engage in terrestriality, and its diffusion along male-biased social bonds are consistent with the development of a local terrestrial tradition similar to other types of traditions described in other primates.
