Abstract excerpt
A multi-layered genetic structure shaped by multiple demographic events across different time periods has been well documented in some species. However, evaluating this pattern remains challenging in many wide-ranging wildlife because genome-wide datasets with broad geographic coverage are still scarce. Brown bears are genetically differentiated among regional populations, but the genomic data are still limited...
