| fine-scale population structure in a desert amphibian: landscape genetics of the black toad (bufo exsul). | environmental variables can strongly influence a variety of intra- and inter-population processes, including demography, population structure and gene flow. when environmental conditions are particularly harsh for a certain species, investigating these effects is important to understanding how populations persist under difficult conditions. furthermore, species inhabiting challenging environments present excellent opportunities to examine the effects of complex landscapes on population processes ... | 2009 | 19708887 |
