贵州翘鼻子猴子(Rhinopithecus brelichi ) 是在中国的一个唯一的、危及的首领, Fanjing 山国家自然保守地主要分布式,贵州省,在 275 km2 的一个区域。最近,产地损失和破碎引起了人口隔离。为了在这种和它的人口以内估计基因差异,组织,我们定序我为 128 个个人从 mitochondrial DNA 控制区域分割的 hypervariable 的 400 bp。仅仅一 haplotype 从这些个人被识别。与另外的首领种类相比, R。brelichi 能与很低的基因差异被认为是种,它进一步增加保存担心。
Guizhou snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi) is a unique, endangered primate in China, mainly distributed in Fanjing Mountain National Natural Reserve, Guizhou Province, in an area of 275 km2. Recently, habitat loss and fragmentation have caused population isolation. To assess genetic diversity within this species and its population structure, we sequenced 400 bp of the hypervariable I segment from the mitochondrial DNA control region for 128 individuals. Only one haplotype was identified from these individuals. Compared with other primate species, R. brelichi can be regarded as a species with very low genetic di- versity, which further adds to the conservation concern.
