First skull of Antillothrix bernensis, an extinct relict monkey from the Dominican RepublicAlfred L Rosenberger
Department of Anthropology and Archaeology, Brooklyn College, The City University of New York, New York, NY, USA
Proc Biol Sci 278:67-74. 2011....
The face of Strigorhysis: implications of another tarsier-like, large-eyed Eocene North American tarsiiform primateAlfred L Rosenberger
Department of Anthropology and Archaeology, Brooklyn College, The City University of New York, New York, USA
Anat Rec (Hoboken) 294:797-812. 2011..The overwhelming evidence from the skull and from phylogenetics makes it a vanishingly small possibility that Tarsius is more closely relate to anthropoids than to a subset of FTs...
The making of platyrrhine semifolivores: models for the evolution of folivory in primatesAlfred L Rosenberger
Department of Anthropology and Archaeology, Brooklyn College, CUNY, Brooklyn, New York, USA
Anat Rec (Hoboken) 294:2112-30. 2011..We propose it is ultimately rooted in a pre-euprimate reliance on the seeds and seed coats of primitive angiosperms before the latter evolved attractive sugary fruits to coax primates into becoming dispersers of seeds, instead consumers...
Evolutionary morphology, platyrrhine evolution, and systematicsAlfred L Rosenberger
Department of Anthropology and Archaeology, Brooklyn College, The City University of New York, Brooklyn, USA
Anat Rec (Hoboken) 294:1955-74. 2011..Intentionally designed not to enlist the rich reservoir of platyrrhine evolutionary morphology, an empirical assessment of the costs incurred by this research stratagem reveals inconsistent, nonrepeatable, and often conflicting results...
An extinct monkey from Haiti and the origins of the Greater Antillean primatesSiobhán B Cooke
Graduate Center, City University of New York, New York, NY 10016, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108:2699-704. 2011..Several features tie the new species to the extinct Jamaican monkey Xenothrix mcgregori, perhaps providing additional evidence for an inter-Antillean clade...
Craniofacial architectural constraints and their importance for reconstructing the early Homo skull KNM-ER 1470Timothy G Bromage
Department of Biomaterials and Biomimetics, New York University College of Dentistry, 345 East 24th Street, New York, NY 10010, USA
J Clin Pediatr Dent 33:43-54. 2008..We are motivated to perform this study because in the absence of biological criteria our preconceptions are likely to govern our concept of craniofacial form...
Frontal fusion: collapse of another anthropoid synapomorphyAlfred L Rosenberger
Department of Anthropology and Archaeology, Brooklyn College, CUNY, Brooklyn, NY 10016 4309, USA
Anat Rec (Hoboken) 291:308-17. 2008..The zygomatico-frontal suture of the septum may provide an alternative mechanism for dissipating the calvarial strains of mastication formerly taken up by an open interfrontal suture...
Taxon combinations, parsimony analysis (PAUP*), and the taxonomy of the yellow-tailed woolly monkey, Lagothrix flavicaudaLuke J Matthews
Department of Anthropology, New York University, New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology, New York, NY 10003, USA
Am J Phys Anthropol 137:245-55. 2008..Some recommendations to minimize the problem, which is prevalent in all cladistic analyses, are proposed...
