The comprehensive delimitation of species within biodiversity hotspots, regardless of their level of divergence, is important for understanding the factors that drive the diversification of biota and for identifying them as targets for conservation. However, delimiting recently diverged species is challenging due to insufficient time for the differential evolution of characters—including morphological differences, reproductive isolation, and gene tree monophyly—that are typically used as evidence for separately evolving lineages.MethodologyIn this study, we assembled multiple lines of evidence from the analysis of mtDNA and nDNA sequence data for the delimitation of a high diversity of cryptically diverged population-level mouse lemur lineages across the island of Madagascar. Our study uses a multi-faceted approach that applies phylogenetic, population genetic, and genealogical analysis for recognizing lineage diversity and presents the most thoroughly sampled species delimitation of mouse lemur ever performed.ConclusionsThe resolution of a large number of geographically defined clades in the mtDNA gene tree provides strong initial evidence for recognizing a high diversity of population-level lineages in mouse lemurs. We find additional support for lineage recognition in the striking concordance between mtDNA clades and patterns of nuclear population structure. Lineages identified using these two sources of evidence also exhibit patterns of population divergence according to genealogical exclusivity estimates. Mouse lemur lineage diversity is reflected in both a geographically fine-scaled pattern of population divergence within established and geographically widespread taxa, as well as newly resolved patterns of micro-endemism revealed through expanded field sampling into previously poorly and well-sampled regions."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pone.0009883"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150846"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20360988"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7273"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7640"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","1932-6203"],["dc.rights","CC BY 2.5"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5"],["dc.title","Delimiting Species without Nuclear Monophyly in Madagascar's Mouse Lemurs"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

By providing an objective measure of species diagnosis, these methods represent a quantitative enhancement to the analysis of multilocus data, and complement more traditional methods based on phenotypic and ecological characteristics. Recognized as two species 20 years ago, mouse lemurs (genus Microcebus) now comprise more than 20 species, largely diagnosed from mtDNA sequence data. With each new species description, enthusiasm has been tempered with scientific scepticism. Here, we present a statistically justified and unbiased Bayesian approach towards mouse lemur species delimitation. We perform validation tests using multilocus sequence data and two methodologies: (i) reverse-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling to assess the likelihood of different models defined a priori by a guide tree, and (ii) a Bayes factor delimitation test that compares different species-tree models without a guide tree. We assess the sensitivity of these methods using randomized individual assignments, which has been used in bpp studies, but not with Bayes factor delimitation tests. Our results validate previously diagnosed taxa, as well as new species hypotheses, resulting in support for three new mouse lemur species. As the challenge of multiple researchers using differing criteria to describe diversity is not unique to Microcebus, the methods used here have significant potential for clarifying diversity in other taxonomic groups. We echo previous studies in advocating that multiple lines of evidence, including use of the coalescent model, should be trusted to delimit new species."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/mec.13604"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150799"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26946180"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7591"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0962-1083"],["dc.title","Species discovery and validation in a cryptic radiation of endangered primates: coalescent-based species delimitation in Madagascar's mouse lemurs"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Within this single clade, hypothesized to have originated approximately 25–30 Mya, we find the world's smallest living primate (genus Microcebus), one species that went “missing” for more than three decades (genus Allocebus), the only known obligate hibernator within the primates (genus Cheirogaleus), the only primate species that preys upon other members of its phylogenetic family (genus Mirza), and also, a taxonomic system that has exploded within the past two decades. This taxonomic explosion has been decidedly lopsided, however. Whereas the genus Allocebus has remained monotypic, containing the single species A. trichotis since its original description in 1875 (Günther 1875), the genus Microcebus (mouse lemurs) has gone from a two species system as recently as 1993 to one that that now contains more than 20 recognized species. This apparent skew in species-level diversity cries out for further exploration. Is it an artifact of organismal and geographic sampling bias, with certain species and ecosystems preferentially sampled, or is it based in biology, with some branches of the cheirogaleid tree (namely, the mouse lemurs) intrinsically more prone to evolutionary divergence? An exploration of these themes and questions is our goal in this chapter. The first genus-level phylogeny of the cheirogaleid lemurs was published by Rumpler et al. (1994) and has remained virtually unchanged in the subsequent decades. Using karyotype data and restriction fragment analysis, the authors found strong support for the phylogeny illustrated in Figure 1.1. Notably, Rumpler and Albignac (1972) had long before discovered that the karyotype of Phaner (2n = 46) is quite distinct from that of the other four genera (2n = 66), leading those authors to propose a two-subfamily taxonomy of the Cheirogaleidae, the monotypic Phanerinae (including only the genus Phaner) and the Cheirogaleinae (comprising the four remaining genera). More recent molecular phylogenetic analyses have sampled more densely at the species level and have yielded fresh insights into interspecific relationships within the various genera, while leaving the “skeleton” of the phylogeny unchanged."],["dc.fs.externid","670160"],["dc.fs.pkfprnr","8700"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1017/CBO9781139871822.002"],["dc.identifier.fs","625040"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/11191"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","FactScience-Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","Cambridge University Press"],["dc.publisher.place","Cambridge"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-1-107-07559-7"],["dc.relation.ispartof","The Dwarf and Mouse Lemurs of Madagascar-Biologie, Behavior and Conservation Biogeography of the Cheirogaleidae"],["dc.title","Cheirogaleid diversity and evolution: big questions about small primates"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
