Repeated Habitat Disturbances by Fire Decrease Local Effective Population Size.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jul 2016

Schrey Aaron W, Ragsdale Alexandria K, McCoy Earl D, Mushinsky Henry R

Abstract excerpt

Effective population size is a fundamental parameter in population genetics, and factors that alter effective population size will shape the genetic characteristics of populations. Habitat disturbance may have a large effect on genetic characteristics of populations by influencing immigration and gene flow, particularly in fragmented habitats. We used the Florida Sand Skink (Plestiodon reynoldsi) to investigate...
