What can optimized cost distances based on genetic distances offer? A simulation study on the use and misuse of ResistanceGA

Author(s): Daniel A; Savary P; Foltête JC; Vuidel G; Faivre B; Garnier S; Khimoun A;

Modelling population connectivity is central to biodiversity conservation and often relies on resistance surfaces reflecting multi-generational gene flow. ResistanceGA (RGA) is a common optimization framework for parameterizing these surfaces by maximizing the fit between genetic distances and cost distances using maximum likelihood population effect mode ...

Population demography maintains biogeographic boundaries

Author(s): Schmidt C; Muñoz G; Lancaster LT; Lessard JP; Marske KA; Marshall KE; Garroway CJ;

Global biodiversity is organised into biogeographic regions that comprise distinct biotas. The contemporary factors maintaining differences in species composition between regions are poorly understood. Given evidence that populations with sufficient genetic variation can adapt to fill new habitats, it is surprising that more homogenisation of species asse ...

Location and Species Matters: Variable Influence of the Environment on the Gene Flow of Imperiled, Native and Invasive Cottontails

Author(s): McGreevy TJ; Michaelides S; Djan M; Sullivan M; Beltrán DM; Buffum B; Husband T;

The environment plays an important role in the movement of individuals and their associated genes among populations, which facilitates gene flow. Gene flow can help maintain the genetic diversity both within and between populations and counter the negative impact of genetic drift, which can decrease the fitness of individuals. Sympatric species can have d ...
