Researchers examine closest living relative to primates
Date:11/2/2007

approach to the genomic comparisons utilized in this study also revealed additional information that will prove beneficial to global biodiversity, Murphy added.

In addition to identifying colugos as the closest living relative to primates, we were able to make some very important discoveries about the tree shrews, said Murphy. The phylogenetic uniqueness we documented in Ptilocercus, coupled with its restriction to a lowland forest habitat and limited global range, have certainly identified it as an important conservation effort in a global sense.
