Subways, zoning and social factors influence the dispersal and genetic connectivity of an iconic urban pest, the brown rat ( <i>Rattus norvegicus</i> ) across a complex cityscape

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cities present unique ecological challenges and opportunities for species that have adapted to human-dominated environments. To understand how urban landscape heterogeneity shapes the movements of an iconic urban animal, the brown rat ( Rattus norvegicus ), we investigated the factors influencing rat genetic connectivity across Manhattan, New York City. We generated genome-wide SNP data from ra...
