Urbanization-associated range expansion genetically homogenizes a butterfly species.

Abstract excerpt

Human-induced environmental change and globalization facilitate biological invasions, which can lead to the displacement of native species by non-native ones.1,2,3,4 Analogously, biodiversity loss may occur within species when habitat modifications facilitate the expansion of a specific population's range, leading to genetic admixture with native local populations. We demonstrate such intraspecific loss in...
