Popis:	The genetic polymorphism of Malagasy prosimian populations is studied by using RAPD markers. The analysis includes twoLepilemur septentrionalis populations of the area of Analamera separated by a deforested hill crest and one population ofL. dorsalis from the island of Nosy-Be. The genetic diversity is higher in the two populations of Analamera than in that of Nosy-Be and the level of genetic differentiation is higher between the population ofL. dorsalis and the two populations ofL. septentrionalis than between the two populations ofL. septentrionalis themselves. Despite the hill crest separating the two populations ofL. septentrionalis, our results demonstrate that they belong to one population. The respective roles of the geographical barriers and the reproductive barrier between the two species, are discussed.
