Contribution à l’analyse de la viabilité d’une petite population de gorilles, Gorilla beringei graueri (Hominidae, Primates), par modélisation et simulations de l’écosystème du Mon... by Jean‑Claude Kasolene Kyungu, Jean Mukulire Malekani, Lohandjola Nyamangombe

“…Cette tendance n’a pas changé en faisant une simulation d’une population en déclin ; 2) qu’en introduisant les paramètres de fécondité, de capacité de charge biologique en fonction de la mortalité (taux de fécondité moyen de 4.4 et de mortalité de 0.666 au début), la population de gorilles aura toujours tendance à diminuer ; 3) qu’avec de nouvelles femelles de repeuplement, la population de gorilles pourrait se stabiliser dans les 100 prochaines années ; 4) qu’avec l’analyse génétique pour la recherche de l’identité, les génotypes à partir des échantillons confirment la présence de gorilles mâles et femelles ; 5) qu’avec les pathologies, les résultats des observations et de simulation montrent que l’évolution des infections probables (shigelloses et salmonelloses) est resté constante et linéaire jusqu’à 78 ans. …”
