Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

 

The paper deals with the past connectivity but recent inbreeding in Cross River gorillas  determined using whole genomes from single hairs. The topic of the paper is current and important because the estimation of genetic variability within populations is important whereas it is related to the evolutionary potential of populations, which is usually higher in populations with greater genetic variation. Introduction and methods are well written. The results of the obtained research were properly described and discussed and brings some new knowledge.
