However, defining them as evolutionaryindependent lineages requires integration of several independent sources of information in order to develop robusthypotheses for taxonomic classification. Here, we exemplarily propose an integrative framework for speciesdelimitation in the “brown lemur complex” (BLC) of Madagascar, which consists of seven allopatric populations ofthe genus Eulemur (Primates: Lemuridae), which were sampled extensively across northern, eastern and westernMadagascar to collect fecal samples for DNA extraction as well as recordings of vocalizations. Our data base wasextended by including museum specimens with reliable identification and locality information for skull shape andpelage color analysis.Results: Between-group analyses of principal components revealed significant heterogeneity in skull shape, pelagecolor variation and loud calls across all seven populations. Furthermore, post-hoc statistical tests between pairs ofpopulations revealed considerable discordance among different data sets for different dyads. Despite a high degreeof incomplete lineage sorting among nuclear loci, significant exclusive ancestry was found for all populations,except for E. cinereiceps, based on one mitochondrial and three nuclear genetic loci.Conclusions: Using several independent lines of evidence, our results confirm the species status of the members ofthe BLC under the general lineage concept of species. More generally, the present analyses demonstrate theimportance and value of integrating different kinds of data in delimiting recently evolved radiations."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/1471-2148-13-233"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150784"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24159931"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7574"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","1471-2148"],["dc.subject","Species delimitation; Eulemur; Madagascar; Taxonomic inflation; Integrative taxonomy"],["dc.title","True lemurs…true species - species delimitation using multiple data sources in the brown lemur complex"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
