Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

The comparison of genetic divergence or genetic distances, estimated by pairwise F ST and
related statistics, with geographical distances by Mantel test is one of the most popular …

Abstract spag edi version 1.0 is a software primarily designed to characterize the spatial

I review the mathematical and biological aspects of Hubbell's (2001) neutral theory of
species abundance for ecological communities, and clarify its historical connections with …

Many empirical studies have assessed fine‐scale spatial genetic structure (SGS), ie the
nonrandom spatial distribution of genotypes, within plant populations using genetic markers …

Given the explosive development of new molecular marker techniques over the last decade,
newcomers and experts alike in the field of DNA fingerprinting will find an easy-to-follow …

Increasing attention is being devoted to taking landscape information into account in genetic
studies. Among landscape variables, space is often considered as one of the most …

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 …

Mechanisms governing the relationship between genetic and cultural evolution are the
subject of debate, data analysis and modelling efforts. Here we present a new …

Landscape genetics plays an increasingly important role in the management and
conservation of species. Here, we highlight some of the opportunities and challenges in …
