Genetic variation at up to 82 protein loci was studied in 3 cercopithecid primate species, Cercopithecus aethiops, Macaca fascicularis and M. mulatta. In both macaque species, genetic variability was higher than that commonly observed in other mammals. The observed protein variability is closely correlated with that expected under the neutral mutation hypothesis. The results are discussed with respect to the application of protein studies to the conservation of primate species.
在三种猕猴科灵长类动物，即埃塞俄比亚长尾猴、食蟹猴和恒河猴中，研究了多达82个蛋白质位点的遗传变异。在这两种猕猴中，遗传变异性高于其他哺乳动物中常见的情况。观察到的蛋白质变异性与中性突变假说下预期的变异性密切相关。就蛋白质研究在灵长类物种保护中的应用对结果进行了讨论。
