Spatial scale affects landscape genetic analysis of a wetland grasshopper

Abstract: Most landscape genetic studies assess the impact of landscape elements on species' dispersal and gene flow. Many of these studies perform their analysis on all possible population pairs in a study area and do not explicitly consider the effects of spatial scale and population network topology on their results. Here, we examined the effects of spatial scale and population network topology on the outcome of a landscape genetic analysis. Additionally, we tested whether the relevant spatial scale of landscape gene… Show more

“…For our analyses, an unbiased estimator of genetic differentiation was not necessary, as we have maintained a fixed number of demes and a fixed deme size throughout our simulations. Furthermore, pairwise estimates of such estimates of historical gene flow have shown to be highly correlated (Van Strien et al, 2012;Keller et al, 2013). We therefore assume that the differences in calculation of both estimates had a negligible effect.…”

“…An advantage of using correlograms for assessing IBD is that it could enhance the comparability of results from empirical landscape genetic studies with those from population genetic theory and simulations. However, empirical (Keller et al, 2013) and simulated ( Figure 6) F STdistance plots show that scatter of pairwise F ST values is generally high and increases with interdeme distance. In addition, the number of sampled demes is generally low in landscape genetic studies (mean ¼ 11; Jenkins et al, 2010).…”
