The effects of habitat fragmentation on the genetic structure of small mammal populations.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Gaines M S, Diffendorfer J E, Tamarin R H, Whittam T S

Abstract excerpt

We present five case studies highlighting the effects of habitat fragmentation on the genetic structure of small mammal populations. The studies reflect different spatial scales and components of genetic variation. In marginal and central populations of Sigmodon hispidus we found less allozymic variation within the marginal population, whereas patterns of morphological variability were the converse. In the rice...
