	Palaeos Vertebrates 480.400 Archonta: Primates
		Phylogeny: Primates : Haplorhini + * : Adapiformes + (Lorisiformes + Lemuriformes).
		Characters: long muzzle; auditory bulla continuous with petrosal; ventrally shielded cochlear fenestra; laterally positioned carotid foramen; long tail; flexible limbs; claws (not nails); opposable digit 1; insects, fruit and general herbivory.
		The "Lemuroidea" of many sources is equivalent to the Lemuriformes here.

	Primates \| Macmillan Animal Sciences
		Prosimians include lemurs (Lemuriformes), galagos and lorises (Lorisiformes) and tarsiers (Tarsiiformes).
		One lineage (see graph) gave rise to Lorisiformes and Lemuriformes, and the other lineage gave rise to Tarsiiformes and the ancestors of all other primate groups (anthropoids).
		Lemuriformes occur exclusively on the island of Madagascar.

		Maximum likelihood inference robustly support the monophyly of Primates, Strepsirrhini, Lemuriformes, Lorisiformes, Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, and Platyrrhini.
		Daubentonia is the sister-group of all other Lemuriformes.
		Study of the IRBP evolutionary rate shows a high heterogeneity within placentals and also within Primates: Paenungulata evolve 2.5 to 3 times faster than Perissodactyla and Lemuriformes.

	The Social Organisation of the Fat-Tailed Dwarf Lemur, Cheirogaleus medius (Lemuriformes; Primates)
		The Social Organisation of the Fat-Tailed Dwarf Lemur, Cheirogaleus medius (Lemuriformes; Primates)
		The strictly nocturnal dwarf lemurs (genus Cheirogaleus) are extraordinary among primates in showing extensive torpor phases of up to six months during the dry season in the austral winter which are thought to be an adaptation to seasonal variation in food availability.

		It is interesting to note that 1) Tarsiidae grouped with Anthropoidea, and the support for this node depends on the molecular characters considered; 2) Cheirogaleidae grouped within Lemuriformes; and 3) Daubentonia was the sister group of all other Lemuriformes.
		Six independent calibration points were used to estimate splitting ages of the main primate clades, and their compatibility was evaluated.
		The incompatibility between some paleontological and molecular estimates may reflect the incompleteness of the placental fossil record, and/or indicate that the variable IRBP evolutionary rates are not fully accommodated by local molecular clocks.

	Primates as an Adaptive Array
		All Lemuriformes have a mandibular dental comb, Although they exhibit a variety of social systems, Lemuriformes generally have very brief mating seasons (a few days).
		Lorisoidea is differentiated from Lemuriformes by the details of arterial circulation and structure of the auditory region.
		The Prosimian infraorders differ in the pattern of branching of the internal carotid artery.

		It’s mission is "to discover and share knowledge about plants and their environment, in order to preserve and enrich life."
		Specialized in the study, reproduction, and conservation of prosimians (lemuriformes, tarsiers, lorises, and galigos), it is one of the most successful endangered species breeding programs in the world.
		The functions and services of the DPZ concentrate on biological and biomedical research with primates, comprising topics which may result in conclusions concerning human physiology and behavior.

		Lemurs are members of a class of primates known as prosimians and make up the infraorder Lemuriformes.
		This type of primate is considered the evolutionary predecessor of monkeys and apes (simians).
