Projet Mandrillus

Les questions centrales du projet concernent l’évolution de la socialité (sélection de parentèle, relations hôtes-parasites). Toutefois, les données de long-terme collectés quotidiennement ou ponctuellement (captures) permettent de répondre à diverses questions en écologie et en évolution.

180 individus composent la population, dont 140 sont individuellement reconnus et suivis quotidiennement (observations comportementales, suivis démographiques, mesures éco-physiologiques).

Variables Essentielles de Biodiversité :

• Co-ancestry
• Allelic diversity
• Population genetic differentiation
• Population abundance
• Population structure by age/size class
• Phenology
• Body mass
• Migratory behavior
• Demographic traits
• Physiological traits

Toutes les données du Projet Mandrillus sont compilées mensuellement dans une base de données (bientôt consultable).
