Conservation genomics of desert tortoises ( <i>Gopherus agassizii</i> ) in the Colorado Desert

2025-12-10

Abstract excerpt

Management units (MUs) are important to conserving species of conservation concern. Although the MU definition is simple (i.e., a demographically independent population), identifying MUs in practice is difficult because investigators must choose a recent (i.e., last few generations) migration rate threshold. One suggested MU criterion is m < 0.10, where m is the proportion of a subpopulation comprised of recent...
