Genetic census reveals increased but uneven growth of a critically endangered mountain gorilla population

2013-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Monitoring changes in the population dynamics of endangered species is crucial to effective conservation strategies. The mountain gorilla population of the Virunga Massif has been the subject of intensive conservation efforts, research and several censuses over the last 40years, but the region has also been affected by political instability and war. Here we present results from the 2010 census, which was the first...
