Understanding and monitoring the consequences of human impacts on intraspecific variation

Abstract: Intraspecific variation is a major component of biodiversity, yet it has received relatively little attention from governmental and nongovernmental organizations, especially with regard to conservation plans and the management of wild species. This omission is ill‐advised because phenotypic and genetic variations within and among populations can have dramatic effects on ecological and evolutionary processes, including responses to environmental change, the maintenance of species diversity, and ecological stabi… Show more

“…Intraspecific genetic variation is a key component of biodiversity: it determines ecological and evolutionary outcomes such as the potential of a given species to respond to environmental changes associated with human activities (Alberti, ; DiBattista, ; Mimura et al., ). Recent studies investigated the impact of anthropogenic land conversion, like urbanization or quarrying activities, on genetic diversity (e.g., Beninde et al., ; Flavenot et al., ; Lourenço et al., ).…”

“…The majority of early BEF studies have been focused on the effects of species loss, which is just one aspect of the multidimensional biodiversity concept. Yet, human activities resulting in land‐use change and habitat fragmentation are known to have dramatic effects not just on species diversity but also on intraspecific genetic variation (Mimura et al., ) and changes in species richness often occur in parallel with changes in intraspecific genetic diversity and may be causally connected (Vellend & Geber, ). For instance, losses in genetic diversity due to shrinking population sizes may precede a loss of species from the community.…”
