Geography alone cannot explain Tetranychus truncatus (Acari: Tetranychidae) population abundance and genetic diversity in the context of the center-periphery hypothesis.

Abstract excerpt

The center-periphery hypothesis (CPH) states that the genetic diversity, genetic flow, and population abundance of a species are highest at the center of the species' geographic distribution. However, most CPH studies have focused on the geographic distance and have ignored ecological and historical effects. Studies using niche models to define the center and periphery of a distribution and the interactions among...
