Complete Mitogenomes of the Critically Endangered Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) Reveal Very Low Mitochondrial Diversity and Two Major Maternal Clades
The Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) is one of the most threatened primates, yet its mitochondrial haplotype diversity and genealogy remain poorly understood. This study investigated mitochondrial haplotype structure, genealogical history, and selective constraints on mitochondrial protein-coding genes using complete...
