The trouble with isolation by distance.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2012

Meirmans Patrick G

Abstract excerpt

The genetic population structure of many species is characterised by a pattern of isolation by distance (IBD): due to limited dispersal, individuals that are geographically close tend to be genetically more similar than individuals that are far apart. Despite the ubiquity of IBD in nature, many commonly used statistical tests are based on a null model that is completely non-spatial, the Island model. Here, I...
