Small Towns Limit Dispersal and Reduce Genetic Diversity in Populations of Texas Horned Lizards

2024-08-24

Abstract excerpt

There is a general expectation that urban populations will be fragmented, and the movement of individuals will be restricted leading to low effective population sizes, low genetic diversity, higher inbreeding, and higher differentiation than populations living in more continuous habitat. Most studies have been conducted on birds and mammals living in large urban areas while very few studies have been conducted on...
