This research was conducted to portray the phylogenetic relationships of a genus of Malaysian primitive primate (Nycticebus) with several groups of Malaysian higher primates (Presbytis Trachypithecus Macaca and Symphalangus). We sequenced 388 base pairs of the partial Cytochrome B mtDNA gene sequences. A single individual of Tarsius bancanus was selected as an outgroup to root the tree. Data analyses were done using character-based approach (Maximum Parsimony MP) and distance-based approach (Neighbour-joining NJ). MP and NJ analysis show two major monophyletic clades between Nyticebus coucang and other Malaysian primates. This study supports the separation between Prosimii and Anthropoidea primates.

Abstract

This research was conducted to portray the phylogenetic relationships of a genus of Malaysian primitive primate (Nycticebus) with several groups of Malaysian higher primates (Presbytis Trachypithecus Macaca and Symphalangus). We sequenced 388 base pairs of the partial Cytochrome B mtDNA gene sequences. A single individual of Tarsius bancanus was selected as an outgroup to root the tree. Data analyses were done using character-based approach (Maximum Parsimony MP) and distance-based approach (Neighbour-joining NJ). MP and NJ analysis show two major monophyletic clades between Nyticebus coucang and other Malaysian primates. This study supports the separation between Prosimii and Anthropoidea primates.
