Abstract excerpt
Anthropogenic habitat loss is among the greatest threats to biodiversity. Populations undergoing fragmentation and loss of habitat are also threatened by erosion of genetic diversity. However, contemporary genetic diversity may be the legacy of natural processes acting prior to anthropogenic influences. Measurements of genetic diversity from contemporary and historical samples can evaluate the relative impact of n...
