Recent habitat modification of a tropical dry forest hotspot drives population genetic divergence in the Mexican leaf frog: a landscape genetics approach.

Abstract excerpt

Tropical dry forests (TDF) are among the ecosystems with the highest deforestation and transformation rates. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, modified landscapes can impose resistance to the movement of individuals, with important genetic consequences. One of the most affected taxa due to habitat alteration are amphibians, which currently face extreme population declines globally. Here, we used single...
