Abstract excerpt
In a continuous habitat, restricted dispersal and local genetic drift are likely to create a pattern of increasing genetic differentiation with distance. Here, we describe the genetic structure of Siberian lemming (Lemmus sibiricus) populations in a continuous tundra habitat on the western coast of the Taimyr Peninsula, in order to determine the spatial scale at which genetic differentiation and isolation by...
