Population genetics and demography unite ecology and evolution

WH Lowe, RP Kovach, FW Allendorf - Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2017 - cell.com
The interplay of ecology and evolution has been a rich area of research for decades. A
surge of interest in this area was catalyzed by the observation that evolution by natural …

Non‐invasive methods for monitoring weasels: emerging technologies and priorities for future research

DS Jachowski, SM Bergeson, SR Cotey… - Mammal …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Weasels (genus Mustela and Neogale) are of management concern as declining

A plea for simultaneously considering matrix quality and local environmental conditions when analysing landscape impacts on effective dispersal

FJ Pflüger, N Balkenhol - 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Landscape genetics has tremendous potential for enhancing our understanding about
landscape effects on effective dispersal and resulting genetic structures. However, the vast …

Comparing direct (live-trap**) and indirect (camera-trap**) approaches for estimating the abundance of weasels (Mustela nivalis)

TR Hofmeester, J Mos, K Zub - Mammalian Biology, 2024 - Springer

understanding key ecological processes but also for effective protection and population …

Kin aggression and resource availability influence phenotype-dependent dispersal in a passerine bird

SM Aguillon, RA Duckworth - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2015 - Springer
Understanding the causes of dispersal is important as it strongly influences population
dynamics and evolution. However, context dependency of dispersal decisions, such as …

Functional traits in red flour beetles: the dispersal phenotype is associated with leg length but not body size nor metabolic rate

PA Arnold, P Cassey, CR White - Functional Ecology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Individuals vary in their ability to disperse. Much of this variation can be described by
covarying phenotypic traits that are related to dispersal (constituting the 'dispersal …

Applications of landscape genetics to connectivity research in terrestrial animals

LP Waits, SA Cushman, SF Spear - Landscape genetics, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Landscape genetic studies have focused on terrestrial animals more than any other
taxonomic group. This chapter focuses on applications of landscape genetics for …

The influence of habitat structure on genetic differentiation in red fox populations in north-eastern Poland
