WikiProject Primates

This WikiProject aims to help organise our collection of entries about primates. It includes all extant species within the order Primates as well as the extinct species. The project also includes articles related to primate behaviour, psychology and notable primatologists e.g. (respectively) brachiation, fission-fusion society, Frans de Waal, etc.

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.

• Mammal Species of the World, 3rd edition (2005) - this is now one of the primary source for primate classification - use {{MSW3}} or one of its its derivatives (such as {{MSW3 Primates}} or {{MSW3 Groves}}) in the reference section.
• Mittermeier, R.A.; Louis, E.E.; Richardson, M.; Schwitzer, C.; Langrand, O.; Rylands, A.B.; Hawkins, F.; Rajaobelina, S. et al (2010). Lemurs of Madagascar. Illustrated by S.D. Nash (3rd ed.). Conservation International. ISBN 978-1-934151-23-5.  – The latest field guide to the Malagasy lemurs; includes 101 lemur taxa. Use {{LoM3}} for references.
• Primate Taxonomy (Smithsonian Institution Press, 2001), Colin Groves (ISBN 156098872X) - formerly the primary source
• Mikko's Phylogeny Archive, Primate node - particularly good for relationships among the extant and extinct primates, although some nomenclature differs from MSW3
