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 …

Quantifying the influence of the landscape on the genetic structure of natural populations
remains an important empirical challenge, particularly for poorly studied, ecologically cryptic …

We examined fine‐scale genetic variation among breeding aggregations of the spotted
salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) to quantify dispersal, interpopulation connectivity and …

Understanding the impacts of landscape‐level processes on the population biology of
amphibians is critical, especially for species inhabiting anthropogenically modified …

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

Life‐history characteristics are an important determinant of a species' dispersal abilities. We
predict that variation in life history can influence population‐level genetic patterns. To test …

Understanding patterns of dispersal, gene flow, and population differentiation are critical to
making informed management and conservation decisions. By assessing these processes …

Urban expansion is creating environmental stressors through land use change, habitat
fragmentation, and habitat loss. These stressors, along with a host of others, are driving …

The explosive growth of empirical population genetics has seen a proliferation of analytical
methods leading to a steady increase in our ability to accurately measure key population …

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