Phylogeographic accounts of mammals across fragmented landscapes show high levels of
genetic, morphological and ecological variation. The big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) …

Within the framework of landscape genetics, resistance surface modelling is particularly
relevant to explicitly test competing hypotheses about landscape effects on gene flow. To …

Habitat destruction due to human land‐use activities is well recognized as a central threat to
biodiversity. However, there is still debate about the relative influence of its two components …

Habitat connectivity is a key objective of current conservation policies and is commonly
modeled by landscape graphs (ie, sets of habitat patches [nodes] connected by potential …

Habitat fragmentation is a major cause of biodiversity loss, responsible for an alteration of
intraspecific patterns of neutral genetic diversity and structure. Although neutral genetic …

Historical events, habitat preferences, and geographic barriers might result in distinct
genetic patterns in insular versus mainland populations. Comparison between these two …

Microsatellites, also called simple sequence repeats (SSR s), are markers of choice to
estimate relevant parameters for conservation genetics, such as migration rates, effective …

Past bird communities are still under-studied in several Caribbean regions, including the
Lesser Antilles. In order to improve our understanding of this area's avifauna, we explore …
