Abstract：
The green monkey Chlorocebus sabaeus, L. 1766, native to West Africa, was introduced to the Cabo Verde Archipelago in the 16th century. Historical sources suggest that, due to the importance of Cabo Verde as a commercial entrepôt in the Atlantic slave trade, establishing the precise place of origin of this introduced species is challenging. Non-invasive fecal samples were collected from feral and captive green monkey individuals in Cabo Verde. Two mitochondrial fragments, HVRI and cyt b, were used to confirm the taxonomic identification of the species and to tentatively determine the geographic origin of introduction to the archipelago from the African continent. By comparing the new sequences of this study to previously published ones, it was shown that Cabo Verde individuals have unique haplotypes in the HVRI, while also showing affinities to several populations from north-western coastal Africa in the cyt b, suggesting probable multiple sources of introduction and an undetermined most probable origin. The latter is consistent with historical information, but may also have resulted from solely using mtDNA as a genetic marker and the dispersal characteristics of the species. The limitations of the methodology are discussed and future directions of research are suggested.
摘要：
绿猴Chlorocebussabaeus,L.1766，原产于西非，在16世纪被引入佛得角群岛。历史资料表明，由于佛得角作为大西洋奴隶贸易中的商业转口的重要性，建立这种引进物种的精确起源是一项挑战。从佛得角的野生和圈养绿猴个体收集非侵入性粪便样品。两个线粒体碎片，HVRI和cytb，用于确认该物种的分类学鉴定，并初步确定从非洲大陆引入群岛的地理起源。通过将这项研究的新序列与以前发表的序列进行比较，研究表明，佛得角个体在HVRI中具有独特的单倍型，同时也显示出与来自西北沿海非洲的一些人口的亲缘关系，提示可能的多种引入来源和不确定的最可能来源。后者与历史信息一致，但也可能是由于仅使用mtDNA作为遗传标记和物种的扩散特征所致。讨论了该方法的局限性，并提出了未来的研究方向。
