Platyrrhine Ecophylogenetics in Space and Time
New World Monkeys (NWM) evolved not in a monolithic South America, but within and around at least four now distinct regions, the Amazonian, Atlantic, Patagonian and Caribbean provinces. Large-scale features of the continent, including its geometry, tectonics and proximity to Antarctica have been imp...

New World Monkeys (NWM) evolved not in a monolithic South America, but within and around at least four now distinct regions, the Amazonian, Atlantic, Patagonian and Caribbean provinces. Large-scale features of the continent, including its geometry, tectonics and proximity to Antarctica have been important in shaping platyrrhine evolution. While the insular Caribbean is difficult to characterize, only the Amazonian environment, which covers roughly 40% of the continent, is the stereotypically warm, wet, lush, physically complex, three-tiered rainforest habitat, with ultra-high biotic productivity, biodiversity and endemism. Driven by Andean uplift, the evolution of Amazonian physiography may have begun only 15 million years ago (Ma), to become modern in structure about 3 Ma, whereas primates arrived in South America more than 26 Ma. Paleontology and biogeography suggest that today’s Amazonian primates, despite great endemism, are a composite fauna involving forms that may have emerged outside the basin, in less rich, less productive, semi-deciduous environments resembling the Atlantic province and even more marginal habitats.
