The green monkey Chlorocebus sabaeus, L. 1766, native to West Africa, was introduced the Cabo Verde Archipelago in 16th century. Historical sources suggest that, due importance of as a commercial entrepôt Atlantic slave trade, establishing precise place origin this species is challenging. Non-invasive fecal samples were collected from feral and captive individuals Verde. Two mitochondrial fragments, HVRI cyt b, used confirm taxonomic identification tentatively determine geographic introduction archipelago African continent. By comparing new sequences study previously published ones, it shown that have unique haplotypes HVRI, while also showing affinities several populations north-western coastal Africa suggesting probable multiple an undetermined most origin. latter consistent with historical information, but may resulted solely using mtDNA genetic marker dispersal characteristics species. limitations methodology are discussed future directions research suggested.
