A genetic discontinuity in moose (Alces alces) in Alaska corresponds with fenced transportation infrastructure

2015-08-01

Abstract excerpt

The strength and arrangement of movement barriers can impact the connectivity among habitat patches. Anthropogenic barriers (e.g. roads) are a source of habitat fragmentation that can disrupt these resource networks and can have an influence on the spatial genetic structure of populations. Using microsatellite data, we evaluated whether observed genetic structure of moose (Alces alces) populations were associated...
