Mitochondrial DNA of the Mauritian macaques (Macaca fascicularis): an example of the founder effect.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 Feb 1995

Lawler S H, Sussman R W, Taylor L L

Abstract excerpt

Macaque monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were introduced to the island of Mauritius approximately 400 years ago. This study compares the mitochondrial DNA of macaques on Mauritius with those from Indonesia and the Philippines. The goal is to measure the amount of evolutionary change that has occurred in this isolated population over 400 years, and to address questions regarding the origin of the Mauritian founders....
