Black-and-white colobus (Colobus guereza Rüppell, 1835) are arboreal Old World monkeys
inhabiting large parts of the deciduous and evergreen forests of sub-Saharan Africa. Two of …

Little is known about genetic variation in the 6–8 subspecies of Colobus angolensis,
currently distinguished by pelage differences. We present a comparative genetic analysis of …

Whether the Colobus angolensis that reside in the fragmented forests in eastern Kenya and
