Despite growing interest in the effects of landscape heterogeneity on genetic structuring, few
tools are available to incorporate data on landscape composition into population genetic …

Phenotypic and genetic divergence can be influenced by a variety of factors, including
sexual and natural selection, genetic drift and geographic isolation. Investigating the roles of …

Landscape connectivity is important in designing corridor and reserve networks. Combining
genetic distances among individuals with least-cost path (LCP) modelling helps to correlate …

Dispersal is a fundamental attribute of species in nature and shapes population dynamics,
evolutionary trajectories and genetic variation across spatial and temporal scales. It is …

Many organisms occupy heterogeneous landscapes that contain both barriers to movement
as well as corridors that facilitate dispersal. The extent to which such features determine …

A cross-transplantation field experiment was performed to investigate about possible
adaptation/acclimatization to metal pollution in common garden snail Cantareus aspersus …

Understanding the spatial genetic structure of populations can provide insight into the
ecological or evolutionary processes of the species, and enable wise conservation …

Comparing genetic and demographic estimates of dispersal in freshwater fish can improve
understanding of movement distributions and population connectivity. Here we examined …

The present study reports on a natural experiment with twelve replicates in which rapid,
predictable and consistent divergence of Cepaea nemoralis populations occurred in …

Ecological and epidemiological invasions occur in a spatial context. We investigated how
these processes correlate to the distance dependence of spread or dispersal between …
