Landscape genetics has emerged as a new research area that integrates population
genetics, landscape ecology and spatial statistics. Researchers in this field can combine the …

Sex‐biased dispersal is an almost ubiquitous feature of mammalian life history, but the
evolutionary causes behind these patterns still require much clarification. A quarter of a …

Dispersal is central in ecology and evolution because it influences population regulation,
adaptation, and speciation. In many species, dispersal is different between genders, leading …

Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution. It strongly influences the dynamics
of spatially structured populations and affects evolutionary processes by shaping patterns of …

Subdivided Pleistocene glacial refugia, best known as “refugia within refugia”, provided
opportunities for diverging populations to evolve into incipient species and/or to hybridize …

II. Vicariant Species Formation E. Estimates of Amphibian Species Diversity A. Dichopatric
versus Peripatric V. Correlates, Radiation Trajectories and B. Gene Flow, Dispersal and …

Several recent studies have shown that amphibian populations may exhibit high genetic
subdivision in areas with recent fragmentation and urban development. Less is known about …

This paper represents an update of the list of Italian amphibians and reptiles published 15
years ago by Razzettiet al.(2006) and of the checklist published in 1993 by the late …

Migration distances of eight species of amphibians were studied at 14 sites in the Czech
Republic in the course of the 2007 spring migration season. Drift fences with pit-fall traps …

Evolutionary divergence among populations occupying ecologically distinct environments
can occur even in the face of on-going gene flow. However, the genetic underpinnings, as …
