Low genetic diversity in a critically endangered primate: shallow evolutionary history or recent population bottleneck?

Low genetic diversity in a critically endangered primate: shallow evolutionary history or recent population bottleneck?

Abstract Background Current patterns of population genetic variation may have been shaped by long-term evolutionary history and contemporary demographic processes. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that yield those patterns is crucial for informed conservation of endangered species. The critic...
