Reveals the link between genetic stress and craniofacial asymmetry in Cross River gorillas, indicating potential extinction risks.
High FA in Cross River gorillas aligns with known levels of inbreeding, supporting the link between genetic stress and craniofacial FA in gorillas. Persistent inbreeding and the loss of genetic diversity may decrease population fitness, further increasing the risk of extinction.
