| Abstract |
In recent years several new sportive lemur species (genus Lepilemur) have been described. In contrast to other lemur taxa, the genus shows comparatively high chromosomal variability, which, in addition to molecular data, can be used to infer phylogenetic relationships within the genus. By comparing R-banding patterns and fluorescence in-situ hybridization data, we detected chromosomal rearrangements that occurred during speciation within the genus. The analysis of these data with cladistic methods resulted in a dichotomic phylogenetic tree comparable to that obtained from mitochondrial sequence data. However, a phase of reticulation can not be excluded from the evolution of Lepilemur. Although some incongruences were detected, both phylogenies show similar patterns concerning relationships of the basal and terminal splits. We therefore hypothesize that both, chromosome rearrangements and molecular mutations, alone or in combination, contributed to the speciation process in sportive lemurs. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 September 2023.
All research outputs
#7,453,827
of 22,787,797 outputs
Outputs from Chromosome Research
#145
of 507 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#47,555
of 165,183 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Chromosome Research
#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,787,797 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 507 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 165,183 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
