Genetic variation at up to 82 protein loci was studied in 3 cercopithecid primate species, Cercopithecus aethiops, Macaca fascicularis and M. mulatta. In both macaque species, genetic variability was higher than that commonly observed in other mammals. The observed protein variability is closely correlated with that expected under the neutral mutation hypothesis. The results are discussed with respect to the application of protein studies to the conservation of primate species.

“…In other words, the island population of Nosy Be has reached a level of genetic differentiation with respect to the other two groups of nearly 20 and 15%, respectively. These values appear to be rather elevated, compared to genetic differentiation coefficients of other wild non-human primates [21][22][23][24]. The overall population of Nosy Be exhibits notably higher coefficients of genetic distance and lower values of similarity, respectively, than those of Nosy Komba and Ambato.…”

Wild populations of Eulemur macaco are substructured into small social groups or subpopulations in which the genetic variability can vary sharply as a consequence of the effects of evolutionary forces. Therefore, population genetic analysis of wild groups should be considered as the first step toward an optimal breeding programme. Examples of population structure and genetics are given for E. macaco populations of Nosy Be, Nosy Komba and Ambato (Yeti, Madagascar). The data show (1) a different degree of genetic variation between populations of the two islands (Nosy Be, Nosy Komba) and the mainland area of Ambato, (2) a closer genetic relatedness between E. macaco populations of Nosy Komba and Ambato (Yeti) and (3) different ecological conditions on Nosy Be in comparison with Nosy Komba and Ambato.

“…In order to assess the genetic constitution of the population, blood protein polymorphisms were examined by gel electrophoresis according to the methods described previously (Shotake, 1979;Kawamoto and Ischak, 1981;Kawamoto, 1982). A total of 27 different blood proteins, which were presumed to be encoded by at least 31 genetic loci, was examined for each individual.…”

ABSTRACT. Crab-eating monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) inhabiting Angaur Island, in the Republic of Palau, Micronesia, are said to be descendents of animals brought to the island about 80 years ago (Poirier and Smith, 1974). Field sampling was performed in November and December 1986 for somatometry, clinical inspection of hematological and parasitological characteristics, and genetic assessment of the monkeys' origin, in order to define their biological characteristics.In total, samples from 70 individuals were obtained in the field. Physically the island monkeys were smaller than animals that originated in Indonesia. A color variant, with hairs lacking brown shading, was observed in three of the captured animals. Hematological examination revealed that the mean number of leukocytes (WBC) was high and the mean erythrocyte count (RBC) and hematocrit value (Ht) were low. The appearance of helminth was so rare that only Streptopharagus sp. was found. Six different alleles were detected at the transferrin locus. The mean heterozygosity of the population was estimated to be 10.2%, suggesting a relatively high degree of genetic variability.
