“…The first index to measure SA, proposed by Moran (Moran's Global I index) in 1950, was used to evaluate whether the values of one (phenotypic) variable studied tended to cluster spatially. In the 90s, measurements of local autocorrelation were developed, that allowed to capture local spatial autocorrelation indicators such as the coefficients Gi and Gi* (Ord & Getis, 1995;Garcia, 2019), which described spatial clustering around individual sites, to discover local "packages" (hot spots) of autocorrelated points. In the early 2000s, a new approach defined as landscape genetics emerged, oriented to the analysis of interactions between landscape features and evolutionary processes such as gene flow and selection (Bessega et al, 2015).…”
