Molecular phylogenetic and evolution of Malaysian primates with an emphasis on the phylogeography of Malaysia Bornean Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis larvatus)

This thesis comprised of two major studies including, 1) molecular phylogeny of Malaysian primates and 2) phylogeography of proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) inferred from mitochondrial (mtDNA) gene. In Malaysia, there are a total of 21 described primate species, from five families and nine gen...
