Phylogenetic relationships among lemuriforms. (A) Phylogenetic tree recovered after Bayesian analysis of Dataset #12 using different model parameters for 12S and Cytb genes. Numbers near the nodes refer to posterior probabilities. * Megaladapis haplotype described in Montagnon et al. (2001) [31] (Accession number Genbank:AJ278142), criticized in Karanth et al. (2005) [18] and definitively confirmed here as a probable PCR-contaminant. (B) Summary Consensus of all the phylogenetic trees recovered from the analysis of our 12 datasets.
