Abstract excerpt
Land-use changes in tropical dry forests (TDF) have rapidly reduced native vegetation, disrupting gene flow dynamics of tree species. Bursera cuneata is a co-dominant TDF tree in central Mexico, which is threatened by habitat loss and overexploitation. We investigated landscape drivers of functional connectivity of B. cuneata across scales to inform species conservation efforts. We genotyped 227 B. cuneata...
