Genetic diversity and population structure in contemporary house sparrow populations along an urbanization gradient.

Heredity - 1 Sept 2012

Vangestel C, Mergeay J, Dawson D A, Callens T, Vandomme V, Lens L

Abstract excerpt

House sparrow (Passer domesticus) populations have suffered major declines in urban as well as rural areas, while remaining relatively stable in suburban ones. Yet, to date no exhaustive attempt has been made to examine how, and to what extent, spatial variation in population demography is reflected in genetic population structuring along contemporary urbanization gradients. Here we use putatively neutral...
