lemuroid การใช้

• If " Plesiopithecus " is an African relative of the aye-aye, it would suggest lemuroid primates colonized Madagascar twice.
• However, relevant genetic studies unanimously place cheirogaleids within the lemuroid clade and Groves himself, who had promoted the cheirogaleid-lorisoid relationship in a 1974 paper, by 2001 regarded the idea as refuted.
• If aye-ayes are more closely related to lemurs than " Plesiopithecus ", then only one colonization event occurred, with the aye-aye branching off first and then the other lemuroid families diverging several million years later following a major extinction event.
