Taxonomy and references

Primate taxonomy is by no means fully known or agreed upon. The following references are currently being used for this Project. See the discussion for other possibilities.

  • [https://www.itis.gov/ Integrated Taxonomic Information System] - an automated reference database of scientific and common names for species. More information is available here.
  • [https://mammaldiversity.org/ Mammal Diversity Database] - an automated database of mammal taxonomy.
  • [http://www.primate-sg.org/primate_diversity_by_region/ IUCN / SSC Primate Specialist Group] - an updated list of scientific and common names from the IUCN Primate Specialist Group; as of 2019 chaired by the editors of Handbook of the Mammals of the World, Volume 3: Primates
  • Mittermeier, R.A., et al Handbook of the Mammals of the World, Volume 3: Primates, 1st Edition (Lynx Edicions, 2013), {{ISBN|9788496553897}} - updated source for primate classification and information
  • Mammal Species of the World, 3rd edition (2005) - this is now one of the primary source for primate classification - use {{tl|MSW3}} or one of its derivatives (such as {{tl|MSW3 Primates}} or {{tl|MSW3 Groves}}) in the reference section.
  • {{LoM3}} – The latest field guide to the Malagasy lemurs; includes 101 lemur taxa. Use {{tl|LoM3}} for references.
  • Primate Taxonomy (Smithsonian Institution Press, 2001), Colin Groves ({{ISBN|156098872X}}) - formerly the primary source
  • [http://www.helsinki.fi/~mhaaramo/metazoa/deuterostoma/chordata/synapsida/eutheria/primates/primates_1.html Mikko's Phylogeny Archive, Primate node] - particularly good for relationships among the extant and extinct primates, although some nomenclature differs from MSW3
  • Noel Rowe & Marc Myers, All the World's Primates (Pogonias Press, 2016), {{ISBN| 9781940496061}}, another recent source for primate classification and information
