U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Research: Molecular Phylogeny and Systematics of Neo-tropical Primates

小行星9602913 这个美国-巴西计划奖将资助韦恩州立大学的莫里斯·古德曼博士和巴西贝伦帕拉联邦大学的奥拉西奥和保拉·施耐德博士之间的合作研究。 物理人类学和系统生物学项目也提供了大量支持。 该研究项目的目标是收集关于新热带灵长类动物生殖发育和系统学的确凿分子证据，并通过电子数据库向科学界提供这些证据。 该联邦大学提供访问亚马逊地区独特的生物多样性。 该大学是家庭对Goeldi自然历史博物馆，国家灵长类动物中心和遗传实验室，使其成为这类研究的主要科学中心。 除了一个主要的网站，古德曼博士带来了他的专业知识作为一个领导者在分子系统发育研究。 巴西人在新热带区哺乳动物学方面的上级工作得到国际公认。 这个项目的结果将是有价值的科学家谁处理的问题ceboid属以下水平的系统学。 他们将提供一个系统发育分类的新热带灵长类动物从属的超科水平，其中每个分类群准确地代表一个单系群。 他们的万维网网页将致力于提供一个全面的专题治疗的系统发育分类学的阔鼻灵长类动物。 ***

9602913 Goodman This U.S.-Brazil Program award will fund cooperative research between Dr. Morris Goodman of Wayne State University and Drs. Horacio and Paula Schneider from the Federal University of Para in Belem, Brazil. The Physical Anthropology and Systematic Biology Programs are providing substantial support as well. The goal of this research project is the gathering of conclusive molecular evidence on the phylogeny and systematics of Neotropical primates and to make this evidence available to the scientific community via an electronic database. The Federal University offers access to the unique biodiversity of the Amazonian region. The university is home to the Goeldi Museum of Natural History, a national primate center and genetic laboratories, making it a major scientific center for this type of research. In addition to a prime site, Dr. Goodman brings his expertise as a leader in molecular phylogenetic studies. The Brazilians are internationally recognized for their superior work on Neotropical mammalogy. The resulting findings of this project will be of value to scientists who deal with the problems of ceboid systematics below the generic level. They will provide a phylogenetic classification of Neotropical primates from the generic to the superfamily level in which each taxon accurately represents a monophyletic group. Their World Wide Web page will work toward providing a comprehensive monographic treatment of the phylogenetic systematics of platyrrhine primates. ***
