Gorilla patterns of variation have great relevance for studies of human evolution. In this
study, molar morphometrics were used to evaluate patterns of geographic variation in …

Gorilla gorillaexemplifies a species that shows considerable variation in habitat, behaviour,
genetic structure and morphology. This study examines variation of dental morphology in …

Pan and Gorilla taxonomy is currently in a state of flux, with the number of existing species
and subspecies of common chimpanzee and gorilla having been recently challenged. While …

Gorilla systematics has received increased attention over recent decades from
primatologists, conservationists, and paleontologists. Studies of geographic variation in …

The gorillas that inhabit Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda are the least known
of the eastern gorillas. Because they are an allopatric population living a minimum of 25 km …

Background Today many large mammals live in small, fragmented populations, but it is often
unclear whether this subdivision is the result of long-term or recent events. Demographic …

Historical climatic events and riverine barriers influence the distribution of primates. The
River Congo exerts the most significant influence on primate distribution in equatorial Africa …

Gorillas, perhaps because of their size, always seem to be the subject of spectacularly
divergent interpretations. Views of their behavior have ranged from the rapacious, vicious …

Compared with other African apes, eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei) have been little studied
genetically. We used analysis of autosomal DNA genotypes obtained from non-invasively …

The science of systematics is used to establish evolutionary relationships among species
and until the 1960s was based almost entirely on morphological data (Moritz, 1995). The …
