Genetic diversity and demographic history of the largest remaining migratory population of blue wildebeest ( <i>Connochaetes taurinus taurinus</i> ) in southern Africa

2024-09-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The blue wildebeest ( Connochaetes taurinus taurinus ) is a keystone species in the savannahs of southern Africa, where it maintains shortgrass plains and serves as an important prey source for large carnivores. Despite being the second largest migratory wildebeest population, the wildebeest of the Greater Liuwa Ecosystem (GLE) of western Zambia have remained largely unstudied, until recently....
