Walk, swim or fly? Locomotor mode predicts genetic differentiation in vertebrates.

Ecology letters - 1 May 2018

Abstract excerpt

Limited dispersal is commonly used to explain differences in diversification rates. An obvious but unexplored factor affecting dispersal is the mode of locomotion used by animals. Whether individuals walk, swim or fly can dictate the type and severity of geographical barriers to dispersal, and determine the general range over which genetic differentiation might occur. We collated information on locomotion mode...
