类人猿系统学，特别是在物种水平和以下，目前正在辩论中，部分原因是最近涌入的分子数据。先前发表的大猩猩线粒体控制区（或D环）DNA序列的同源性显示了西非大猩猩（大猩猩大猩猩）的深刻分裂，以及这个亚种中非常高水平的核苷酸多样性。在这里，我们证明了几个以前报道的D-环单倍型从西非大猩猩在所有的可能性线粒体DNA的核整合。大猩猩线粒体DNA多样性的数量和模式的修订估计，揭示了两个单系和高度分化的大猩猩群体，同时与他们的地理分布。(C)2004 Wiley-Liss，Inc.
Great ape systematics, particularly at the species level and below, is currently under debate, due in part to the recent influx of molecular data. The phylogenies of previously published mitochondrial control region (or D-loop) DNA sequences in gorillas show deep splits within West African gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla), and very high levels of nucleotide diversity in this subspecies. Here we demonstrate that several previously reported D-loop haplotypes from West African gorillas are in all likelihood nuclear integrations of mitochondrial DNA. Revised estimates of the amount and pattern of mitochondrial DNA diversity in gorillas are provided, revealing two reciprocally monophyletic and highly divergent groups of gorillas, concurrent with their geographic distribution.
