Connectivity of prairie dog colonies in an altered landscape: inferences from analysis of microsatellite DNA variation

2012-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Connectivity of populations influences the degree to which species maintain genetic diversity and persist despite local extinctions. Natural landscape features are known to influence connectivity, but global anthropogenic landscape change underscores the importance of quantifying how human-modified landscapes disrupt connectivity of natural populations. Grasslands of western North America have experienced extensiv...
