Here, we attempt to understand how the dynamic process of landscape change on Madagascar has shaped the distribution of a targeted clade of mouse lemurs (genus Microcebus) and, conversely, how phylogenetic and population genetic patterns in these small primates can reciprocally advance our understanding of Madagascar's prehuman environment. The degree to which human activity has impacted the natural plant communities of Madagascar is of critical and enduring interest. Today, the eastern rainforests are separated from the dry deciduous forests of the west by a large expanse of presumed anthropogenic grassland savanna, dominated by the Family Poaceae, that blankets most of the Central Highlands. Although there is firm consensus that anthropogenic activities have transformed the original vegetation through agricultural and pastoral practices, the degree to which closed-canopy forest extended from the east to the west remains debated. Phylogenetic and population genetic patterns in a five-species clade of mouse lemurs suggest that longitudinal dispersal across the island was readily achieved throughout the Pleistocene, apparently ending at ∼55 ka. By examining patterns of both inter- and intraspecific genetic diversity in mouse lemur species found in the eastern, western, and Central Highland zones, we conclude that the natural environment of the Central Highlands would have been mosaic, consisting of a matrix of wooded savanna that formed a transitional zone between the extremes of humid eastern and dry western forest types."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1073/pnas.1601081113"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150781"],["dc.identifier.pmid","27432945"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7571"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0027-8424"],["dc.title","Geogenetic patterns in mouse lemurs (genusMicrocebus) reveal the ghosts of Madagascar's forests past"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["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"]]

In particular, the diversity of extant lemurs is much higher than previously thought, and we have yet to comprehend fully the full extent of lemuriform biodiversity. A recent genetic analysis of mtDNA and nDNA sequence data in Malagasy mouse lemurs revealed the existence of several novel mtDNA clades based on new field sampling. These geographically defined and previously unrecognized mtDNA clades corresponded precisely to patterns of population structure revealed in the analysis of the nDNA data, thus confirming their evolutionary divergence from other mouse lemur clades. Two of these independently evolving lineages correspond to specimens that were collected by us in the Marolambo and Manantantely/Ivorona regions. Here we summarize the genetic evidence and report on the morphometric and external characteristics of these animals, formally describing them as new species. This report thus brings the number of currently recognized and described mouse lemur species to 20. The forests in which these mouse lemurs were discovered have been heavily degraded in the past decade, prompting the classification of one of the new species as Endangered by the IUCN, even before its formal description. As with several other newly described lemur species, immediate field studies and appropriate conservation actions are therefore urgent."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10764-013-9672-1"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150879"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7676"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0164-0291"],["dc.subject","Biodiversity; Taxonomy; Madagascar; Microcebus; Mouse lemurs"],["dc.title","Two New Species of Mouse Lemurs (Cheirogaleidae: Microcebus) from Eastern Madagascar"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
