Barriers to chimpanzee gene flow at the south‐east edge of their distribution (2023)
Journal Article
Bonnin, N., Piel, A. K., Brown, R. P., Li, Y., Connell, A. J., Avitto, A. N., …Stewart, F. A. (2023). Barriers to chimpanzee gene flow at the south‐east edge of their distribution. Molecular Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.16986

Populations on the edge of a species' distribution may represent an important source of adaptive diversity, yet these populations tend to be more fragmented and are more likely to be geographically isolated. Lack of genetic exchanges between such pop... Read More about Barriers to chimpanzee gene flow at the south‐east edge of their distribution.
