Abstract
Abstract Alouatta is composed of groups of species of which the Amazonian Alouatta seniculus group is part. The number of species in this group is not consensus, some authors considered as species some taxa previously considered as subspecies of A . seniculus : A. seniculus , Alouatta sara , Alouatta s. puruensis , Alouatta s. juara , and Alouatta arctoidea . In order to investigate the genetic diversity of Alouatta in the Purus River basin, we examined the karyotypes of individuals from this region and conducted analyses using Cytochrome b sequences, which yielded valuable information on species diversity and revealed the presence of A. sara in western Brazil, expanding its known distribution range.
期刊介绍:
Mammalia is an international, multidisciplinary, bimonthly journal devoted to the inventory, analysis and interpretation of mammalian diversity. It publishes original results on all aspects of the systematics and biology of mammals with a strong focus on ecology, including biodiversity analyses, distribution habitats, diet, predator-prey relationships, competition, community analyses and conservation of mammals. The journal also accepts submissions on sub-fossil or recently extinct mammals.
