White-naped mangabeys’ viable insurance population within European Zoo Network

Abstract The success and viability of an ex-situ conservation program lie in the establishment and potential maintenance of a demographically and genetically viable insurance population. Such population reserve may support reintroduction and reinforcement activities of wild populations. White-naped...
