Here's what comes up when searching for "Mesopropithecus" in the ISI Web of Knowledge database. I've removed those articles already sourced, and the numerous conference abstracts. I haven't checked the abstracts to see how relevant they are... I'll leave that up to VH :) Sasata (talk) 16:50, 9 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
