The phylogenetic position of Daubentonia madagascariensis (Gmelin, 1788; primates, Strepsirhini) as revealed by chromosomal analysis

Figures & data

Figure 1 (a) Daubentonia madagascariensis in a sketch from Jophen Wolf (1832–1899) and (b) a skull from the Frans Lanting photo collection (modified).

Figure 2 Strict consensus of the eight most parsimonious trees (tree length = 58, CI = 0.53, RI = 0.72) obtained from the maximum parsimony analysis. Numbers at the nodes indicate the statistical support values obtained from 1000 bootstrap replicates (only shown if > 50%).

Figure 3 Most likely phylogenetic reconstruction derived from the Bayesian analysis. Numbers adjacent to the nodes indicate estimated posterior probabilities.

Table 1. The data matrix subjected to PAUP. Two codes have been established: 0 = absent; code 1 = presence of shared human syntenic associations.

Table 2. Comparison between Daubentonia madagascariensis and other prosimians based on human syntenic associations established by chromosome painting using human as probe. “A” indicates ancestral shared characters; Light gray bars indicate derived characters shared by Lemuriformes; dark gray bars indicate derived characters shared by Lorisiformes. Black bars are autapomorphies for D. madagascariensis
