Landscape genetics seeks to determine the effect of landscape features on gene flow and
genetic structure. Often, such analyses are intended to inform conservation and …

We review knowledge about the roles of sex chromosomes in vertebrate hybridization and
speciation, exploring a gradient of divergences with increasing reproductive isolation …

Austria's mammalian wildlife comprises a large variety of species, acting and interacting in
different ways as reservoir and intermediate and definitive hosts for different pathogens that …

By applying second‐generation sequencing technologies to microsatellite genotyping,
sequence information is produced which can result in high‐resolution population genetics …

The European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) is a species found in abundance
throughout Europe. Nevertheless, it has seen a decline in some regions. This study aimed to …

Lyme borreliosis (LB), caused by spirochetes of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl)
complex, is one of the most common vector-borne zoonotic diseases in Europe. Knowledge …

Urban areas are expanding worldwide, yet little is known how anthropogenic landscape
fragmentation affects the connectedness and gene flow in urban wildlife. The European …

Simple Summary An urban environment holds many barriers for mammals with limited
mobility such as hedgehogs. These barriers appear often unsurmountable (eg, rivers …

Simple Summary The environmental impacts of transport infrastructure are attracting
substantial research focus and road-induced mortality of wildlife is perhaps the most …

Aim In this study, we conduct a quantitative meta‐analysis to investigate broad patterns of
genetic variation throughout large geographical regions in order to elucidate concordant …
