The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the number of studies dealing with the genetic
consequences of habitat fragmentation, in large part because of the increasing accessibility …

How sociality evolves and is maintained remains a key question in evolutionary biology.
Most studies to date have focused on insects, birds, and mammals but data from a wider …

Habitat fragmentation, an important element of current global change, has profound
repercussions on population and species extinction. Landscape fragmentation reduces …

Background Urbanization is a major cause of habitat fragmentation worldwide. Ecological
and conservation theory predicts many potential impacts of habitat fragmentation on natural …

Habitat fragmentation is one of the most prominent effects of anthropogenic ecosystem
degradation. However, despite the accumulating evidence that anthropogenic habitat …

Anthropogenic habitat fragmentation—ubiquitous in modern ecosystems—has strong
impacts on gene flow and genetic population structure. Reptiles may be particularly …

We adopted a species' perspective for predicting extinction risk in a small, endemic, and
strictly scansorial lizard (Urosaurus nigricaudus), in an old (∼ 60year) and highly …

Animal dispersal is highly non‐random and has important implications for the dynamics of
populations in fragmented habitat. We identified interpatch dispersal events from genetic …

An important question for the conservation of species dwelling in fragmented habitats is
whether changes to the intervening landscape create a barrier to gene flow. Here, we make …

Anthropogenic climate change is causing a world‐wide reduction of alpine habitat, leaving
many high‐elevation species restricted to sky‐islands and vulnerable to extinction …
