A brief introduction . . .
•1994: Began a phylogeographic
study of tarsiers
1994-2008: 10+ years in SE Asia, living, researching, and
working as a primatologist.

Some conclusions from my research. . .
Eastern tarsiers are a cluster of 16+ related species within a
population formerly classified as a single subspecies!
• Old fashioned science (taxonomy, biogeography)
• New technology (genetics, bioacoustics)
• Greatly improved understanding of the true scope of biodiversity

Biodiversity on Sulawesi
underestimated by an
order of magnitude?!?
