A rapid, strong, and convergent genetic response to urban habitat fragmentation in four divergent and widespread vertebrates.

PloS one - 16 Sept 2010

Delaney Kathleen Semple, Riley Seth P D, Fisher Robert N

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Urbanization is a major cause of habitat fragmentation worldwide. Ecological and conservation theory predicts many potential impacts of habitat fragmentation on natural populations, including genetic impacts. Habitat fragmentation by urbanization causes populations of animals and plants to be isolated in patches of suitable habitat that are surrounded by non-native vegetation or severely altered...
