Historical population declines prompted significant genomic erosion in the northern and southern white rhinoceros ( <i>Ceratotherium simum</i> )

Large vertebrates are extremely sensitive to anthropogenic pressure, and their populations are declining fast. The white rhinoceros ( Ceratotherium simum ) is a paradigmatic case: this African megaherbivore suffered a remarkable population reduction in the last 150 years due to human activities.
