Understanding the processes and patterns of gene flow and local adaptation requires a
detailed knowledge of how landscape characteristics structure populations. This …

Homoplasy has recently attracted the attention of population geneticists, as a consequence
of the popularity of highly variable stepwise mutating markers such as microsatellites …

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 …

Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution. At the individual level, the three
stages of the dispersal process (ie, emigration, transience and immigration) are affected by …

The joint analysis of spatial and genetic data is rapidly becoming the norm in population
genetics. More and more studies explicitly describe and quantify the spatial organization of …

Abstract Changes in agricultural practices and forest fragmentation can have a dramatic
effect on landscape connectivity and the dispersal of animals, potentially reducing gene flow …

The dispersal process, by which individuals or other dispersing agents such as gametes or
seeds move from birthplace to a new settlement locality, has important consequences for the …

The interaction of local populations has been the focus of an increasing number of studies in
the past 30 years. The study of source-sink dynamics has especially generated much …

Geographically limited dispersal can shape genetic population structure and result in a
correlation between genetic and geographic distance, commonly called isolation-by …

Understanding patterns of dispersal and connectivity among marine populations can directly
inform fisheries conservation and management. Advances in high‐throughput sequencing …
