Abstract excerpt
Distinguishing among the mechanisms underlying the spatial distribution of genetic variation resulting from the environmental or physical barriers from those arising due to simple geographic distance is challenging in complex landscapes. The Andean uplift represents one of the most heterogeneous habitats where multiple mechanisms may interact, confounding their relative roles. We explore this broad question in...
