Continent-wide effects of urbanization on bird and mammal genetic diversity

2019-08-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4> Abstract </h4> Urbanization and associated environmental changes are causing global declines in vertebrate populations. In general, population declines of the magnitudes now detected should lead to reduced effective population sizes for animals living in proximity to humans and disturbed lands. This is cause for concern because effective population sizes set the rate of genetic diversity loss due to genetic...
