Abstract

Molecular markers Alu: STKI ,VP and HBGF were applied to the phylogenetic analysis of sorne ecuadorian platyrrhines. PCR amplification for all three markers was positive in the analysed species: Cebus albifrons , Saimiri sciureus, Ateles belzebuth, Ateles fusciceps, Allouata palliata and Lagothrix lagotricha . This shows that derived Alu-transpositions originated during New World monkey evolution.


Neighbor-joining analysis of this information supports the positioning of genera Alouatta, Ateles and Lagotricha in Atelidae family and a close affiliatíon between genera Cebus and Saimiri which could be considered as a cIade
