Females shape the genetic structure of a gorilla population.

Current biology : CB - 25 Nov 2008

Guschanski Katerina, Caillaud Damien, Robbins Martha M, Vigilant Linda

Abstract excerpt

Dispersal, one of the key life-history features of a species, influences gene flow and, consequently, the genetic structuring of populations. Landscape characteristics such as rivers, mountains, or habitat fragmentation affect dispersal and result in broad-scale genetic structuring of various mammalian species [1-5]. However, less attention has been paid to studying how dispersal is influenced by finer-scale...
