How spatio-temporal habitat connectivity affects amphibian genetic structure

Abstract: Heterogeneous landscapes and fluctuating environmental conditions can affect species dispersal, population genetics, and genetic structure, yet understanding how biotic and abiotic factors affect population dynamics in a fluctuating environment is critical for species management. We evaluated how spatio-temporal habitat connectivity influences dispersal and genetic structure in a population of boreal chorus frogs (Pseudacris maculata) using a landscape genetics approach. We developed gravity models to assess t… Show more

Reduced snowpack (i.e., earlier melt‐out) can result in longer activity seasons for amphibians (McCaffery and Maxell ) but also in an increased number of days of frost and lower soil temperatures (Wipf et al.…”
