They occupy all of sub-Saharan Africa and show great variation in ecology, behavior, and morphology. This variability led to the description of over 60 species and subspecies. Here, using next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) in combination with targeted DNA capture, we sequenced 92 mitochondrial genomes from museum-preserved specimens as old as 117 years. We infer evolutionary relationships and estimate divergence times of almost all guenon taxa based on mitochondrial sequences. Using this phylogenetic framework, we reconstruct ancestral geographic ranges and show how localized fluctuations of African forest cover have contributed to the radiation of guenons. We find incongruences between phylogenetic trees reconstructed from mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences, which can be explained by either incomplete lineage sorting or hybridization. We conclude that the extraordinary radiation of guenons has been a complex process driven by, among other factors, geographic isolation in forest refugia. Furthermore, having produced the largest mitochondrial DNA dataset from museum specimens, we document how NGS technologies can 'unlock' museum collections, thereby helping to unravel the tree-of-life.} }
