Assessing the permeability of landscape features to animal movement: using genetic structure to infer functional connectivity.
Human-altered environments often challenge native species with a complex spatial distribution of resources. Hostile landscape features can inhibit animal movement (i.e., genetic exchange), while other landscape attributes facilitate gene flow. The genetic attributes of organisms inhabiting such comp...
