Landscape‐scale population genetic structure in vagile vertebrates was commonly considered to be a contradiction in terms whereas recent studies have demonstrated behaviour and habitat associated structure in several such species. We investigate whether landscape features influence morphological and genetic differentiation in a widespread, mobile raptor. To accurately describe genetic differentiation associated with regional landscape factors, we first investigated subspecies relationships at a… Expand

Pleistocene and ecological effects on continental‐scale genetic differentiation in the bobcat (Lynx rufus)
TLDR
Overall, results implicate historical processes as the primary cause of broad‐scale genetic differentiation, but contemporary forces seem to also play a role in promoting and maintaining structure. Expand
Large-scale population genetic structure in Bonelli's Eagle Aquila fasciata
In bird species that have a high movement capacity, dispersal may connect subpopulations over vast geographical regions, with important consequences for the design of conservation management… Expand
Habitat-linked population genetic differentiation in the blue tit Cyanistes caeruleus.
TLDR
The found temporally stable fine-scale genetic structure within Corsica, with genetic differentiation values among populations corresponding to ~25% of levels observed between Corsica and the mainland, suggests that although individuals have high dispersal ability, local adaptation might reduce gene flow among populations located in different habitats. Expand
Molecular markers provide insights into contemporary and historic gene flow for a non‐migratory species
Hairy woodpeckers Picoides villosus are a common, year round resident with distinct plumage and morphological variation across North America. We genotyped 335 individuals at six variable… Expand
The Rocky Mountains as a dispersal barrier between barn owl (Tyto alba) populations in North America
Aim: Geological barriers within a species range play a key role in shaping patterns of genetic variation by restricting gene flow. Mountain ranges are particularly imposing barriers responsible for… Expand
Phylogeographic and population genetic analyses reveal multiple species of Boa and independent origins of insular dwarfism.
TLDR
This study examined the genetic structure and phylogenetic relationships of Boa populations using mitochondrial sequences and genome-wide SNP data obtained from RADseq and identified extensive population structure across the range of the genus Boa and multiple lines of evidence for three widely-distributed clades roughly corresponding with the three primary land masses of the Western Hemisphere. Expand
Local genetic structure on breeding grounds of a long-distance migrant passerine: the bluethroat (Luscinia svecica) in Spain.
TLDR
Based on the genetic variation of 83 bluethroats, 3 geographically consistent genetic clusters are identified that on average showed a higher genetic differentiation than among other north European populations, even those belonging to different subspecies. Expand
Comparative phylogeography and population genetics within Buteo lineatus reveals evidence of distinct evolutionary lineages.
TLDR
The data indicate that eastern and western populations of B. lineatus are genetically distinct lineages, have experienced very different demographic histories, and suggest management as separate conservation units may be warranted. Expand
Range-wide genetic differentiation among North American great gray owls (Strix nebulosa) reveals a distinct lineage restricted to the Sierra Nevada, California.
TLDR
This study underscores the importance of phylogeographic studies for identifying lineages of conservation concern, as well as the important role of Pleistocene glaciation events in driving genetic differentiation of avian fauna. Expand
Females Shape the Genetic Structure of a Gorilla Population
TLDR
The results suggest that individual dietary preferences are important even in a highly mobile species living amid abundant food, and it is proposed that preference for natal habitats will influence dispersal decisions in many other vertebrate taxa. Expand

Phylogeography and genetic structure of northern populations of the yellow warbler (Dendroica petechia)
TLDR
Yellow warblers collected from seven locations across Canada and from Alaska suggest that individual populations of migrant birds may form demographically isolated management units on a smaller scale than previously appreciated. Expand
Historical and ecological determinants of genetic structure in arctic canids
TLDR
Results presented here suggest that, through its influence on sea ice, vegetation, prey dynamics and distribution, continued arctic climate change may have effects as dramatic as those of the Pleistocene on the genetic structure of arctic canid species. Expand
PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF CANADA GEESE (BRANTA CANADENSIS) IN WESTERN NORTH AMERICA
TLDR
Analyses of molecular variance, nested-clade and coalescencebased analyses of mtDNA suggest that both historical (past fragmentation) and contemporary forces have been important in shaping current spatial genetic distributions. Expand
Ecological factors influence population genetic structure of European grey wolves
TLDR
It is shown that wolf populations in Eastern Europe displayed nonrandom spatial genetic structure in the absence of obvious physical barriers to movement, and it is found that the genetic differentiation among local populations was correlated with climate, habitat types, and wolf diet composition. Expand
Climate and habitat barriers to dispersal in the highly mobile grey wolf
TLDR
It is found that, contrary to a previous report, a pattern of isolation with distance is evident on a continental scale in the North American wolf population and vegetation types appear to play a role in the genetic dissimilarities among populations. Expand
Population genetic structure in migratory sandhill cranes and the role of Pleistocene glaciations
TLDR
The data suggest that subspecies of migratory sandhills experience significant gene flow and therefore do not represent distinct and independent genetic entities, and suggest that gene flow for most of the region follows an isolation‐by‐distance model. Expand
Phylogeographical approaches to assessing demographic connectivity between breeding and overwintering regions in a Nearctic−Neotropical warbler (Wilsonia pusilla)
TLDR
The results suggest that because migratory species such as the Wilson's warbler likely experienced extensive gene flow among regional breeding populations, molecular markers will have the greatest utility for characterizing breeding−overwintering connectivity at a broad geographical scale. Expand
Phylogeography, genetic structure and diversity in the endangered bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus, L.) as revealed by mitochondrial DNA
TLDR
The results argue for the management of the bearded vulture species as a single population, given the apparent ecological exchangeability of extant stocks, and support the ongoing reintroduction of mixed ancestry birds in the Alps and planned reintroductions in Southern Spain. Expand
Population structure of California coyotes corresponds to habitat‐specific breaks and illuminates species history
TLDR
The finding that genetic subdivisions were associated with unobstructed boundaries between contiguous habitats suggests a role for intraspecific variability in habitat affinities as a factor underlying genetic structure. Expand
The genetic pattern of population threat and loss: a case study of butterflies
TLDR
Comparison of population demographic trends in species with biogeographical patterns reveals higher rates of decrease with lower genetic diversity, which indicates reduced adaptability due to genetic impoverishment as a result of glacial and postglacial range changes. Expand
