Patch size and isolation influence genetic patterns in black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata) populations

Land use in Madagascar has resulted in extensive deforestation and forest fragmentation. Endemic species, such as the black-and-white ruffed lemur ( Varecia variegata ), may be vulnerable to habitat fragmentation due to patchy geographic distributions and sensitivities to forest disturbance. We test...
