Abstract: | The genetic variations of 35 individuals of the Shimokita A1 troop of mainland Japanese macaques,Macaca fuscata fuscata, which live at the northern end of the habitat of the species, were investigated using 33 electrophoretically detectable
blood protein loci. Among the loci examined, six were polymorphic. The average heterozygosity per individual was calculated
as 0.0442. This was the highest value among all troops of Japanese macaques so far investigated. The mainland macaques of
the Shimokita A1 troop were more differentiated genetically from other mainland macaque troops than were Yaku macaques, the
subspeciesM. f. yakui. |
