Dispersal Capacity Rather Than Shared Environmental Constraints Determines Taxon-Specific Demographic Dynamics in an Alpine Lake Network.

Abstract excerpt

Networks of alpine lakes and ponds support unique assemblages of aquatic organisms and provide an ideal biogeographical setting for studying the evolutionary, ecological and demographic outcomes of population fragmentation. In this study, we integrate genomic, morphological and community-level data within a comparative multi-taxon framework to investigate genetic connectivity, demographic trajectories and...
