For many amphibian species, reduced landscape connectivity results in reduced genetic
connectivity among populations. However, large effective population sizes (N e) slow the …

The physical and environmental attributes of landscapes often shape patterns of population
connectivity by influencing dispersal and gene flow. Landscape effects on movement are …

We characterized the genetic structure of two pond-breeding amphibian species in a
commercial forest to evaluate population connectivity and investigate whether landscape …

Understanding demographic dynamics and functional connectivity among demes is
essential to prevent, identify and reverse amphibian population declines. Attempts to …

Metapopulation‐structured species can be negatively affected when landscape
fragmentation impairs connectivity. We investigated the effects of urbanization on genetic …

With predicted decreases in genetic diversity and greater genetic differentiation at range
peripheries relative to their cores, it can be difficult to distinguish between the roles of current …

Studies linking genetic structure in amphibian species with ecological characteristics have
focused on large differences in dispersal capabilities. Here, we test whether two species …

Landscape genetics provides a framework for pinpointing environmental features that
determine the important exchange of migrants among populations. These studies usually …

Context Amphibian metapopulations have become increasingly fragmented in the
Midwestern United States, with wetland-breeding salamanders being especially dependent …

When populations reside within a heterogeneous landscape, isolation by distance may not
be a good predictor of genetic divergence if dispersal behaviour and therefore gene flow …
