The daily rhythm of body temperature of six rodent species, three of them nocturnal (Rattus noruegicus, Mesocricetus auratus, and Meriones unguiculatus) and three diurnal (Octodon degus, Spermophilus tridecemlineatus, and S. richardsoni), was studied by telemetry under a 14L: 10D light-dark cycle.

## Abstract Early in their evolution, the ancestors of anthropoid primates radiated from a nocturnal to a diurnal niche. Foraging during the night differs from foraging during the day in terms of the availability of light and color cues, and in the movement of odor molecules through the canopy. In

Homoplasy has been a prominent issue in primate systematics and phylogeny for as long as people have been studying human evolution. In the past, homoplasy, in the form of parallel evolution, was often considered the dominant theme in primate evolution. Today, it receives blame for difficulties in ph
