Endangered species in small habitat patches can possess high genetic diversity: the case of the Tana River red colobus and mangabey

2010-10-01

Abstract excerpt

We used mtDNA sequence data from the Tana River red colobus and mangabey to determine how their population genetic structure was influenced by dispersal and habitat fragmentation. The colobus and mangabey are critically endangered primates endemic to gallery forests in eastern Kenya. The forests are a Pliocene–Pleistocene refugium that has recently undergone significant habitat loss and fragmentation due to human...
