Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The development of genome sequencing techniques has revolutionized evolutionary biology, facilitating the study of adaptation and speciation at the genome level. Genomic data has also become a cornerstone in conservation management, allowing inferences of population demography and genetic diversity. RESULTS: We sequence the genome of the holotype specimen of the elusive lesula (Cercopithecus...
