Fine-scale genetic structure analyses suggest further male than female dispersal in mountain gorillas.

BMC ecology - 7 Jul 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Molecular studies in social mammals rarely compare the inferences gained from genetic analyses with field information, especially in the context of dispersal. In this study, we used genetic data to elucidate sex-specific dispersal dynamics in the Virunga Massif mountain gorilla population (Gorilla beringei beringei), a primate species characterized by routine male and female dispersal from stable...
