Genetic data are often used to assess 'population connectivity'because it is difficult to
measure dispersal directly at large spatial scales. Genetic connectivity, however, depends …

Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution. At the individual level, the three
stages of the dispersal process (ie, emigration, transience and immigration) are affected by …

The Turtles of Mexico is the first comprehensive guide to the biology, ecology, evolution, and
distribution of more than fifty freshwater and terrestrial turtle taxa found in Mexico. Legler and …

A recent paper in Molecular Ecology by Jost (2008) seriously questions the merit of the
widely used GST statistic and its derivatives as measures of genetic differentiation. This has …

Habitat fragmentation can restrict geneflow, reduce neighbourhood effective population size,
and increase genetic drift and inbreeding in small, isolated habitat remnants. The extent to …

Understanding the way in which habitat fragmentation disrupts animal dispersal is key to
identifying effective and efficient conservation strategies. To differentiate the potential …

The climatic cycles of the Quaternary, during which global mean annual temperatures have
regularly changed by 5–10° C, provide a special opportunity for studying the rate …

Heterogeneity in habitat often influences how organisms traverse the landscape matrix that
connects populations. Understanding landscape connectivity is important to determine the …

The classification of the American box turtles (Terrapene spp.) has remained enigmatic to
systematists. Previous comprehensive phylogenetic studies focused primarily on …

In riverine systems, the construction of locks and dams may present barriers to movement for
aquatic organisms and effectively fragment otherwise continuous populations. We examined …
