Genetic Erosion at the Edge: Landscape Fragmentation and Connectivity in Sloth Bears of the Indian Terai

2025-09-29

Abstract excerpt

Habitat fragmentation is a major global threat to biodiversity, particularly for species at the periphery of their range where populations are smaller and historically more isolated. Fragmented landscapes reduce connectivity, erode genetic diversity, and elevate inbreeding risk, potentially leading to local extinction. Landscape genetics offers a powerful framework to assess how land-use patterns influence gene fl...
