Saimiri genus taxonomy

Combining the taxa distinguished by Groves (2001)(Groves, 2001) with the cytogenetic findings the taxonomy can be summarized as follows:

1. S. boliviensis

S.b. boliviensis (Bolivia, Brazil, Peru) with 6 acrocentric and 15 SM chromosomes

S.b. peruviensis (Peru, between rivers Huallanga and Tapiche) with 5 acrocentric (A) and 16 submetacentric (SM) chromosomes

2. S. oerstedii with 5 A 16 SM chromosomes

S.o. oerstedii(Panama, Costa Rica,

S.o. citrinellus (Rio Panita Basin in Costa Rica)

3. S. Sciureus

S.s. sciureus (northern Brazil, Guyana) with 7 A and 14 SM chromosomes

S.s. albigena (Columbia)

S.s. cassiquiarensis (Apopris and Jura River basins)

S.s. macrodon (Equador) with 6 A and 15 SM chromosomes

4. S. ustus (Brazil)

5. S. vanzolinii (Central Amazon) with 6 A and 15 SM chromosomes.

The various cytogenetic reports use a confusing array of numbering systems. For instance, the two chromosomes recognized as variable were inconsistently numbered. Jones and Ma (1975)(Jones and Ma, 1975) even refered to one variable pair as 10 when it was a submetacentric, 17 when it was an acrocentric while the other smaller chromosome was called 15 when it is a submetacentric and 18 when it was an acrocentric. Lau and Arrigni (1976)(Lau and Arrighi, 1976), Moore et al. (1990)(Moore et al., 1990), and Scammell et al. (2001)(Scammell et al., 2001) refered to them as 15 and 16. Camberfort and Moro (1978)(Cambefort and Moro, 1978) refered to them as chromosomes 14 and 15, Dutrillaux and Couturier (1981)(Dutrillaux and Couturier, 1981) as 15 and 17, Yanenaga-Yassuda and Chu (1985) (Yonenaga-Yassuda and Chu, 1985) and Minezawa et al. (1990)(Minezawa et al., 1990) as 10 and 16. Garcia et al. (1995) (Garcia et al., 1995) reverted to a double numbering system: B5, C1 and B10, C2. In these paper the chromosomes are numbered according to length and defined the Saimiri karyotype on the basis of chromosome painting and reciprocal chromosome painting respectively (Dumas et al., 2007; Stanyon et al., 2000). The chromosomes, which vary are chromosomes 5 and 15, homologous to human chromosomes 12 and 8q respectively.The finding of at least one wild caught squirrel monkey which was polymorphic for both inversions on chromosomes 5 and 15 raised the possibility that some taxa may be polymorphic for these pericentric inversions as well as the X-chromosome. In any case, given the current assessment of phylogenetic relationships with squirrel monkeys (Chiou et al., 2011; Lavergne et al., 2010; Perelman et al., 2011) it is almost certain that lineage sorting accounts for the present day distribution pattern (the inversion of chromosome 5 and 15 where likely polymorphic in the last common ancestor).

The Supplementary Figure 1 shows the Saimiri sciureus sciureus karyotype DAPI banded (below) and G-banded (above). The nomenclature is according to Stanyon et al. (2000) and Dumas et al. (2007). In parenthesis is reported, for the variant chromosomes only, the nomenclature used by Scammel et al. (2001). The ideograms on the right show the human synteny. The boxed chromosomes on the right are reported the variant chromosomes of Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis (SBOb) and S.b. peruviensis (SBOp).
