Anthropogenic and natural barriers affect genetic connectivity in an Alpine butterfly

Daronja Trense, Tom Schmidt, Qiong Yang, Jessica Chung, Ary Hoffmann & Klaus Fischer
Dispersal is a key biological process serving several functions including connectivity among populations. Habitat fragmentation caused by natural or anthropogenic structures may hamper dispersal, thereby disrupting genetic connectivity. Investigating factors affecting dispersal and gene flow is important in the current era of anthropogenic global change, as dispersal comprises a vital part of a species’ resilience to environmental change. Using fine-scale landscape genomics, we investigate gene flow and genetic structure of the Sooty Copper butterfly (Lycaena...
