Urbanisation alters landscapes, introduces wildlife to novel stressors, and fragments
habitats into remnant 'islands'. Within these islands, isolated wildlife populations can …

Conversion and fragmentation of wildlife habitat often leads to smaller and isolated
populations and can reduce a species' ability to disperse across the landscape. As a …

Aim The goal of our study was to investigate the effects of a fragmented landscape on the
genetic population structure of two sympatric snake species that differ in habitat preference …

Most biologists would agree that understanding the factors that influence gene flow among
populations is important, because population connectivity is critical to effective conservation …

Delineation of units below the species level is critical for prioritizing conservation actions for
species at‐risk. Genetic studies play an important role in characterizing patterns of …

Allopatric divergence following the formation of geographical features has been implicated
as a major driver of evolutionary diversification. Widespread species complexes provide …

Urbanisation changes landscapes, often simplifying and homogenising natural ecosystems
while introducing novel environments. Although this transformation often adversely impacts …

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 …

Detecting and documenting the occurrence of invasive species outside their native range
requires tools to support their identification. This can be challenging for taxa with diverse life …

Across the distribution of the Caspian whipsnake (Dolichophis caspius), populations have
become increasingly disconnected due to habitat alteration. To understand population …
