Population Genetics meets Landscape ecology in the Biodiversity Exploratories:
A case study on genetic differentiation of ground beetle populations
H1: Landscape settings (e.g., historical & contemporary connectivity, land use intensity) have an influence on the genetic differentiation.
H2: These relationships are more pronounced in short-winged than in long-winged populations and species.
H3: Positive relationship between genetic variation
and species diversity (community level)
- Population genetics: Microsatellites, Allozymes, Hind-wing development
- Landscape genetics: Tests (Hardy-Weinberg-equilibrium, linkage disequilibrium, …), Genetic differentiation patterns (FST-values, AMOVA, assignment tests), Genetic diversity (allelic richness), Spatial genetic patterns
- Landscape ecology: Historical and contemporary maps, Landscape settings, GIS data
