Increases in river fragmentation globally threaten freshwater biodiversity. Rivers are
fragmented by many agents, both natural and anthropogenic. We review the distribution and …

We identify two processes by which humans increase genetic exchange among groups of
individuals: by affecting the distribution of groups and dispersal patterns across a landscape …

Determined by landscape structure as well as dispersal‐related traits of species,
connectivity influences various key aspects of population biology, ranging from population …

Background The actual connectivity between populations of freshwater organisms is largely
determined by species biology, but is also influenced by many area-and site-specific factors …

Habitat fragmentation is one of the leading causes of population declines, threatening
ecosystems worldwide. Freshwater taxa may be particularly sensitive to habitat loss as …

Aedes albopictus is a successful disease vector due to its ability to survive in a wide range of
habitats. Despite its ubiquity and impact on public health, little is known about its differential …

Sediment bypass tunnels (SBTs) are guiding structures used to reduce sediment
accumulation in reservoirs during high flows by transporting sediments to downstream …

Aim Both gene flow and genetic drift can affect the genetic diversity of interacting
populations. However, the influence of the complex evolutionary histories of species may be …

Dams and their associated impoundments may restrict dispersal and gene flow among
populations of numerous freshwater species within stream networks, leading to genetic …

Population genetic connectivity is influenced by multiple abiotic and biotic attributes,
including geography, dispersal ability, and life history, which may lead to different patterns of …
