Genetic diversity and gene flow in a rare New Zealand skink despite fragmented habitat in a volcanic landscape

2016-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Anthropogenic habitat fragmentation often restricts gene flow and results in small populations that are at risk of inbreeding. However, some endangered species naturally occupy patchy habitat where local population extinction and recolonization are normal. We investigated population fragmentation in the range‐restricted New Zealand small‐scaled skink (Oligosoma microlepis), documenting changes in habitat occupancy...
