Insights into insular primates: conservation genetics of Cercopithecus petaurista buettikoferi, Cercopithecus campbelli and Chlorocebus sabaeus in the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau

Dissertação de mestrado em Ecologia ; Habitat destruction and bushmeat hunting are promoting world-wide fragmentation and demographic contractions of primate populations, of which insular populations are thought to be particularly susceptible to extinction because of a presumably reduced genetic diversity and evolutionary potential. The Bijagós archipelago (BA), located off the coast of Guinea-Bissau (GB) in West Africa, sustain high levels of biodiversity of worldwide-recognised importance. The primate species occurring at BA – the Western lesser spot-nosed guenon (Cercopithecus petaurista bu... Mehr ...
