	Strepsirrhini - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Strepsirrhines are considered to have more primitive features and adaptations than their haplorrhine ("dry-nose") cousins.
		With the exception of the Aye-aye, all strepsirrhines have a dental comb - tightly clustered incisors and canine teeth - that is used for grooming.
		Another grooming adaptation is a claw on the second toe of all strepsirrhines, while the big toe is widely separated from the others allowing a vise-like grip for locomotion.

		Strepsirrhines are considered to have more primitive features and adaptations than their haplorrhine ("dry-nose", in Greek "simple nose") cousins.
		With the exception of the Aye-aye, all strepsirrhines have a dental comb—tightly clustered incisors and canine teeth—that is used for grooming.
		It is placed in its own infraorder (Chiromyiformes), and it is uncertain whether this infraorder split off from the ancestral strepsirrhine line before the lemurs and lorises, or after.

	Strepsirrhini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strepsirrhines are considered to have more primitive features and adaptations than their haplorrhine ("dry-nose", in Greek "simple nose") cousins.
		With the exception of the Aye-aye, all strepsirrhines have a dental comb—tightly clustered incisors and canine teeth—that is used for grooming.
		If the Aye-aye represents a form that is ancestral to all the rest of Strepsirrhini, then it evolved away from the strepsirrhine line between 63 million years ago (mya) (when the strepsirrhines split from the primitive primate line) and 50 mya (the lemur/loris split).

	Evolution and Function of Frontal Sinuses in Strepsirrhine Primates
		Frontal pneumatisations are reconstructed to have evolved in the lineage leading to the Malagasy lemurs and in the haplorrhines either once, in the anthropoid stem lineage or twice later during the evolution of the clade.
		Presence and relative size of frontal sinuses in strepsirrhines were analysed within both a traditional and a phylogenetic comparative framework in order to test a range of hypotheses derived from the literature.
		Strepsirrhines were used as a model to test whether the presence of a frontal sinus is associated with ecological, morphological or behavioural determinants that could support one of the formulated hypotheses.

	Scientists debate meaning of 40-million-year-old primate fossils in Nature
		The well-preserved teeth date from about 40 million years ago, twice as old as the already known fossils for these two groups of primates.
		In Karanisia, the teeth at the front of the lower jaw formed a toothcomb like that typically seen in living strepsirrhine primates, which includes bushbabies, lorises and lemurs, as one of their defining characteristics.
		"One possibility is that the strepsirrhine primates originally inhabited Indo-Madagascar, rather than Africa, and that lemurs became isolated when Madagascar separated from India," Martin says.

		Despite similar gestation periods, haplorrhine newborns are relatively much larger than strepsirrhine newborns, but have a longer dependence period on their other.
		The remaining clade is the infraorder Simiiformes (formerly Anthropoidea), which is made up of the Platyrrhini (the New World monkeys) and Catarrhini (the Old World monkeys, apes, and humans).

	Evolution and Function of Frontal Sinuses in Strepsirrhine Primates
		The goal of this study was to produce a comprehensive summary of frontal sinus occurrence across primate taxa and to test current hypotheses of frontal sinus function within the strepsirrhines.
		For that purpose, a comprehensive range of strepsirrhine as well as several haplorrhine skulls were radiographed and literature data was collected on primate frontal pneumatisation.
		Whether the functions postulated for the frontal sinuses in strepsirrhines can be extrapolated to all primates remains unclear but it seems quite evident that frontal pneumatisation serves a function in at least some of the primate taxa.

	Primate Genetics
		They are said to be more "primitive" than other primates, because some of their anatomical characteristics are found in some other mammals, but not in haplorrhines.
		Furthermore, these data can be used to evaluate the taxonomic status of strepsirrhine taxa and to date specific branching events.
		Within strepsirrhines, Alu and tRNA-derived SINEs are probably the best type of transposition events to solve taxonomic as well as biogeographic questions.

	Ayeaye - Endangered Raptiles & Creatures - care4nature.org ...
		The aye-aye's large ears probably help in the detection of larvae hidden under the bark of dead branches; once found, the larvae are exposed by ripping off part of the overlaying bark with the incisors.
		The aye-aye is the only strepsirrhine that lacks the dental comb and toilet claw.
		The incisors, reduced to a single pair in each jaw, are huge and open-rooted, so that they grow throughout life; they are used for gnawing away the bark of trees to get at the grubs on which the aye-aye feed.

		Recently, primates have been hypothesized to be primitively diurnal, based in part on the distribution of color-sensitive photoreceptor opsin genes and active trichromatic color vision in several extant strepsirrhines, as well as anthropoid primates (Tan and Li, 1999 Nature402, 36; Li, 2000 Am.
		If diurnality is primitive for all primates then the functional and adaptive significance of aspects of strepsirrhine retinal morphology and other adaptations of the primate visual system such as high acuity stereopsis, have been misinterpreted for decades.
		Diurnality, and possibly X-linked polymorphic trichromacy, evolved at least in the stem lineage of Anthropoidea, or the stem lineage of all haplorhines.

	Pakistani finding, global impact -DAWN Science; June 11, 2005
		One of the most enigmatic questions in primate evolution is when and how strepsirrhine lemurs first arrived in Madagascar, and their unexpected presence on the Indian subcontinent provides a greater puzzle.
		A pertinent question then arises about the direction of that migration, which depends on the geographic location considered wherein strepsirrhine were likely to have originated.
		In that frame, two intercontinental migration of lemurs are required: an initial eastwards migration of the African ancestral lemuriform to Madagascar and a subsequent northward migration of an ancestral Malagasy cheirogaleid to India.

		The extinct animal sheds light on its living relatives that include the bush babies (lorises, pottos, galagos and tarsiers) and lemurs, which are the last living link to the ancient primates that are themselves linked to the primate lineage that evolved into humans.
		"The tarsiers and the higher primates, or anthropoids, have changed so radically from the last common ancestor that we shared with strepsirrhines that small lemurs, such as mouse lemurs, and the more generalized galagos, are the best living analogues for our common primate ancestor," said Erik Seiffert, who led the study.

		This study explores the forces associated with leaping in two primate species and how they compare to forces of nonprimate mammals performing similar tasks.
		Our data are consistent with the idea that primates, being an arboreal radiation in a fine branch niche, adopt movement patterns that keep substrate forces low, and partially support previous findings of hind limb dominance in primate locomotion.
