Genome-wide SNP data reveal hidden hierarchical population structure and demographic history of endangered black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus bieti).

Abstract excerpt

The endangered black-and-white snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti), endemic to high-altitude forests in southwest China, has increased from fewer than 1,500 individuals pre-1990 to over 3,500 post-2010.

We present the first comprehensive genomic...
