Simiiformes characteristics

"Monkeys, including apes, can be distinguished from other primates by having only two pectoral nipples, a pendulous penis, and a lack of sensory whiskers." Has anyone got a better source for this? I'm not sure the sensory whiskers part is true, see Muchlinski, Magdalena N. (2010). "A comparative analysis of vibrissa count and infraorbital foramen area in primates and other mammals". Journal of Human Evolution. 58 (6): 447–473. doi:10.1016/j.jhevol.2010.01.012. PMID 20434193.. This paper talks of the distinctive characteristics of crown anthropoids, and none of those characters are mentioned: Williams, B. A.; Kay, R. F.; Kirk, E. C. (2010). "New perspectives on anthropoid origins". Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 107 (11): 4797–4804. doi:10.1073/pnas.0908320107. PMC 2841917. PMID 20212104.. Cheers, Jack (talk) 09:03, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it is because these characteristics (two pectoral nipples, etc) are synapomorphies, while the crown anthropoid paper is discussing non-synapomorphic characteristics. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:08, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Prehensile tails

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

From Monkey:

"most New World monkeys have prehensile tails"

From New World monkey:

"Monkeys in the family Atelidae," [as opposed to the other four families of New World monkeys] "such as the spider monkey, are the only primates to have prehensile tails."

This seems to need reconciliation. Doctroid (talk) 01:51, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've made an attempt to rectify this. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:01, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Crown Catharrhini

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Should the tree branch read Crown Catarrhini? Zruss (talk) 11:25, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a tree branch so labelled. What are you asking? - UtherSRG (talk) 12:02, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please make your change request in the proscribed format. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:03, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 3 August 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Monkey. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Hi, I would like to edit this wiki page because I have found some pieces of information missing.
