TL;DR: This work uses spatial Bayesian clustering and landscape resistance analysis to identify the landscape features that influence gene flow across two regional populations of the eastern massasauga rattlesnake, Sistrurus c.

TL;DR: By ignoring the effects of habitat amount, landscape geneticists are missing an important component of how landscape structure shapes patterns of genetic variation, and landscape ecologists may need to consider the confounding role of the matrix to resolve the ongoing debate about the relative importance of habitat loss versus fragmentation per se in determining biological diversity.

TL;DR: Santangelo et al. as discussed by the authors examined whether urban environmental change drives parallel evolution by sampling 110,019 white clover plants from 6169 populations in 160 cities globally and found that urban-rural gradients were associated with the evolution of clines in defense in 47% of cities throughout the world.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of a fragmented landscape on the genetic population structure of two sympatric snake species that differ in habitat preference were investigated using DNA microsatellite markers.

TL;DR: The results show that including interindividual and local ecological variation greatly aids in characterizing landscape‐level measures of contemporary gene flow.
