- Abstract:
- Migration rates and population structure will be quantified in the endangered and patchily distributed Southern Damselfly by studying both patterns of genetic differentiation by distance at microsatellite loci and multi-site MRR data. Further integration of ecological and molecular methods is aimed at quantifying and understanding the determinants of effective population size over different time frames. This latter objective will in part be achieved through genetic analysis of museum specimens that will be specifically aimed at assessing the consequences of habitat deterioration and fragmentation on population structure and the maintenance of genetic diversity. At the European scale microsatellites will be used to describe the phylogeography and compare levels of genetic diversity in central and marginal areas.
