1 | Spendlove, Natalie | Mitochondrial genetic variation among howler monkeys | By studying genetic variation of some of primates, researchers can more closely study the effects of deforestation and fragmentation. For this study, mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata) are the primates of choice. The samples used in this study were collected by researchers doing fieldwork in... | Anthropology; Howler monkeys; Genetics | 2014-12 | |
2 | Christensen, Bryce | Evolution, living patterns, and mitochondrial genetic variations in chimpanzees | The study of genetic variation in chimpanzees allows researchers to determine evolutionary origins, population dynamics, living patterns, and more; the focus of this thesis is on the Pan troglodytes verus subspecies of chimpanzees of western Africa. After reviewing the literature, I set out to test ... | Chimpanzees -- Genetics; Chimpanzees -- Evolution; Mitochondrial DNA | 2015-12 | |
