我们描述了四个现存长臂猿亚属的线粒体控制区和苯丙氨酸-tRNA 的 DNA 序列。与早期使用 mtDNA 其他部分的长臂猿系统发育研究相比，对照区域将凤头长臂猿 (Nomascus) 描述为长臂猿科 (Hylobatidae) 中最基本的类群，其次是合指长臂猿 (Symphalangus)，最后分化的是长臂猿 (Bunopithecus) 和长臂猿 (Hylobates)。我们的数据显示，四个长臂猿亚属之间的分子距离与Home和Pan之间的分子距离在相同范围内，甚至更高。由于这些发现，我们建议将所有四个长臂猿亚属提升为属等级。 (C) 2001 年学术出版社。
We describe DNA sequences for the mitochondrial control region and phenylalanine-tRNA from the four extant gibbon subgenera. In contrast to earlier studies on gibbon phylogeny that used other parts of the mtDNA, the control region depicts the crested gibbons (Nomascus) as the most basal group of the Hylobatidae, followed by Symphalangus, with Bunopithecus and Hylobates as the last to diverge. Our data show that the molecular distances among the four gibbon subgenera are in the same range as those between Home and Pan, or even higher. As a consequence of these findings, we propose to raise all four gibbon subgenera to genus rank. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
