Fine-scale genetic structure and conservation status of American badgers at their northwestern range periphery

2019-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Peripheral populations are often characterized by small population size and low genetic diversity, with many at risk of extirpation. These characteristics may be even more pronounced in human-modified landscapes that further reduce the resiliency of populations to environmental change. Situated at the northwestern edge of the species’ range, the western American badger (Taxidea taxus jeffersonii) is an endangered...
