Connectivity is classically considered an emergent property of landscapes encapsulating
individuals' flows across space. However, its operational use requires a precise …

Inference of genetic clusters is a key aim of population genetics, sparking development of
numerous analytical methods. Within these, there is a conceptual divide between finding de …

The pophelper r package and web app are software tools to aid in population structure
analyses. They can be used for the analyses and visualization of output generated from …

Advancing technologies have facilitated the ever‐widening application of genetic markers
such as microsatellites into new systems and research questions in biology. In light of the …

We review commonly used population definitions under both the ecological paradigm
(which emphasizes demographic cohesion) and the evolutionary paradigm (which …

Population genetic studies reveal biodiversity patterns and inform about drivers of
evolutionary differentiation and adaptation, including gene flow, drift and selection. This can …

Deciphering genetic structure and inferring connectivity in marine species have been
challenging due to weak genetic differentiation and limited resolution offered by traditional …

Recent improvements in the speed, cost and accuracy of next generation sequencing are
revolutionizing the discovery of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). SNPs are …

The natural diversity of honey bees in Europe is eroding fast. A multitude of reasons lead to
a loss of both genetic diversity and specific adaptations to local conditions. To preserve …

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 …
