Overcoming Challenges to Extracting and Sequencing Historical DNA to Support Primate Evolutionary Research and Conservation, with an Application to Galagos - International Journal of Primatology
The availability of genetic data from wild populations limits our understanding of primate evolution and conservation, particularly for small nocturnal species such as lorisiforms (galagos, lorises, a...

Size, Scaling, and Sexual Size Dimorphism in Wild South African Thick-Tailed Greater Galagos (Otolemur crassicaudatus) - International Journal of Primatology
The developmental bases of sexual size dimorphism vary across primates, with important implications for understanding the evolution of dimorphism. Here, we explore adult sexual size dimorphism and its...
