“…In addition, these similar genetic diversities among captive populations and our results were found even using different types of samples: skin (n = 29, loci = 9, N a = 3.67, H e = 0.59 [Galbusera and Gillemot, 2008]), blood (n = 55, loci = 16, N a = 5.1, H e = 0.65) and hair (n = 49, loci = 16, N a = 4.6, H e = 0.55) [Orefice, 2015]. The importance of genetically diverse captive populations for the conservation of lion tamarin species with markedly smaller wild populations has also been documented [Ayala-Burbano et al, 2017;Moraes et al, 2017]. In the case of L. rosalia, the captive population contributed greatly to the wild population by means of a reintroduction programme [Kierulff et al, 2012;Moraes et al, 2017].…”
