Craniofacial Fluctuating Asymmetry in Cross River Gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla diehli )

ASAmy J SpiesA.T. Still University KMKate McGrathGeorge Washington University AEAmandine B. EriksenUniversity of Indianapolis

Key Points

The research aims to explore the relationship between inbreeding and craniofacial fluctuating asymmetry in Cross River gorillas.
Analyzed craniofacial measurements of Cross River gorillas
Assessed levels of inbreeding and genetic diversity
Evaluated population fitness indicators
High fluctuating asymmetry observed in Cross River gorillas
Inbreeding correlates with increased craniofacial asymmetry
Loss of genetic diversity linked to decreased population fitness

Abstract

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.
