Adaptive genetic variation at three loci in South African vervet monkeys ( <i>Chlorocebus pygerythrus</i> ) and the role of selection within Primates

2018-05-14

Abstract excerpt

Vervet monkeys ( Chlorocebus pygerythrus ) are one of the most widely distributed non-human primate species found in South Africa. They occur across all the South African provinces, inhabiting a large variety of habitats. These habitats vary sufficiently that it can be assumed that various factors such as pathogen diversity could influence populations in different ways. In turn, these factors could lead to varied...
