Masai giraffe rifting apart: Loss of genetic connectivity across the Gregory Rift Valley in Tanzania

2022-09-16

Abstract excerpt

The Masai giraffe has experienced a population decline from 70,000 to 35,000 in the past three decades and was declared an endangered subspecies by the IUCN in 2019. The remaining population is divided into smaller subpopulations dispersed west and east of the Gregory Rift Valley (GRV) in Tanzania, Kenya, and Zambia. The steep escarpments of the GRV are formidable barriers to migration and gene flow and the few re...
