Fine-scale analysis reveals cryptic landscape genetic structure in desert tortoises.

Characterizing the effects of landscape features on genetic variation is essential for understanding how landscapes shape patterns of gene flow and spatial genetic structure of populations. Most landscape genetics studies have focused on patterns of gene flow at a regional scale. However, the geneti...
