Low genetic diversity in a critically endangered primate: shallow evolutionary history or recent population bottleneck?
Weiran WangYitao ZhengJindong ZhaoMeng YaoPublished in: BMC evolutionary biology (2019)
Despite severe population declines caused by anthropogenic activities in the last century, the low genetic diversity of the extant white-headed langur populations is most likely primarily due to the species' shallow evolutionary history and to a recent, local population founder event.
