[Electrophoretic polymorphism in different subspecies of Cercopithecus aethiops]. / Polymorphisme électrophorétique des différentes sous-espèces de Cercopithecus aethiops.

ABSTRACT

Variations were observed in prealbumin, transferrin, ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, PGM-II and AK systems in various subspecies of Cercopithecus aethiops. The electrophoretic distance between three forms seems to indicate an intermediary status between populations and subspecies. The reasons for this moderate differentiation are discussed with regard to divergence of ethological characters, as recently studied.
