This includes the case of West Africa, a region characterized by a highly anthropogenic landscape, yet home to many threatened non-human primates. In this study, the focus is directed to scanning for possible connections between human presence/activity and patterns of dispersal, genetic diversity, demographic history, and genetic and geographic population structure of two sympatric species of colobus monkeys. Fieldwork was conducted in 2018, using a non-invasive sampling method to obtain fecal matter of the arboreal primates, extant in the Gola Rainforest National Park (GRNP), Sierra Leone. A total of 14 microsatellites for 146 samples of Piliocolobus badius badius (Bay colobus) and 15 microsatellites for 25 samples of Colobus polykomos (King colobus) were analyzed. Both colobines presented genetically diverse populations, with overall expectable patterns of sex-biased dispersal. The populations were historically large, having seemingly suffered demographic collapses at different phases of the Holocene epoch, possibly due to bioclimatic changes. Neither species appeared to have a strong genetic substructure, although C. polykomos presented some substructure at the landscape level. Thus, the results of this study suggest that both species seem to be resilient to fairly recent anthropogenic pressures in this protected area. Since these arboreal primates are highly dependent on the forests for habitat, their genetic status in the GRNP reflects the high level of integrity of the protected area. The findings in this study illustrate the importance of maintaining continuous forest habitat to conserve these primates. The former may be used to inform conservation planning of the international Gola landscape, with the involvement of stakeholders.Rodrigues, Tânia Minhós CondeçoMarques, Tiago AndréRepositório da Universidade de LisboaSevastópolska, Darya2023-12-14T16:09:56Z202220222022-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/61350enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-12-18T01:22:22Zoai:repositorio.ul.pt:10451/61350Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T00:54:58.197510Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
