Strong population substructure is correlated with morphology and ecology in a migratory bat.

Nature - 10 Jul 2003

Miller-Butterworth Cassandra M, Jacobs David S, Harley Eric H

Abstract excerpt

Examining patterns of inter-population genetic diversity can provide valuable information about both historical and current evolutionary processes affecting a species. Population genetic studies of flying and migratory species such as bats and birds have traditionally shown minimal population substructure, characterized by high levels of gene flow between populations. In general, strongly substructured mammalian...
