The Comoros Islands are known for their important biodiversity with a high endemism rate for each taxonomic group. This natural richness face huge anthropogenic pressures due to a high rate of habitat loss and fragmentation estimated to be the highest in the word. Wild endemic mammals are the most threatened fauna in these islands. These species are often characterized by small population sizes making them highly vulnerable to disturbances. Indeed, small population size makes populations prone to allee effect, genetic drift or inbreeding depression, which subsequently conducts to a decrease of species’ evolutionary potential, thus diminishing their long term viability. In order to understand the effect of hab...
