Uncovering the genetic and evolutionary basis of local adaptation is a major focus of
evolutionary biology. The recent development of cost-effective methods for obtaining high …

Conservation practitioners have long recognized ecological connectivity as a global priority
for preserving biodiversity and ecosystem function. In the early years of conservation …

Landscape genomics is an emerging research field that aims to identify the environmental
factors that shape adaptive genetic variation and the gene variants that drive local …

Landscape genetics is now ten years old. It has stimulated research into the effect of
landscapes on evolutionary processes. This review describes the main topics that have …

Landscape genetics seeks to determine the effect of landscape features on gene flow and
genetic structure. Often, such analyses are intended to inform conservation and …

Measures of genetic structure among individuals or populations collected at different spatial
locations across a landscape are commonly used as surrogate measures of functional (ie …

The rapid growth of landscape genetics is both exciting and motivating, but it is also
accompanied by tremendous challenges. This chapter highlights some of these challenges …

Roads exert various effects of conservation concern. They cause road mortality of wildlife,
change the behaviour of animals and lead to habitat fragmentation. Roads also have …

Intraspecific variation is a major component of biodiversity, yet it has received relatively little
attention from governmental and nongovernmental organizations, especially with regard to …

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 …
