Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Species' range limits are determined by a combination of history, ecology, and genetics. While much of our understanding of range limits comes from ecological studies, molecular population genetic methods can provide insight into the contribution of historical range shifts and gene flow to current range limits. METHODS: We sequenced nine nuclear loci in 68 individuals from four populations...
