Abstract excerpt
DNA fingerprinting analysis was used to investigate genetic variability within and between three wild populations of Eulemur macaco living on two islands and on the mainland. The analyses revealed that the genetic variability of the population from the smaller island was, as expected, lower than that from the larger island. Surprisingly, on the larger island the genetic variability was greater than on the...
