Urban Landscape Genetics: Are Biologists Keeping Up with the Pace of Urbanization?

As we know, the landscape of urban areas is changing rapidly as land is converted from natural to anthropogenic space. Additionally, new technology has allowed us to collect more data at a lower cost than ever before. The combination of these two events led my co-authors and me to ask "Are biologists keeping up with... Continue Reading →

The Urban Island: Landscape Genetics of Red Foxes in Berlin

Urbanization can impact wildlife in different ways, depending on the organism and how it interacts with humans and the built environment. Geographical barriers may limit or prevent an organism from moving through a city and an organism's behavioral variability (particularly its ability to tolerate humans) may also influence if and how it disperses throughout a...

Evolution 2019: Landscape Genetics of an Invasive Species in an Urban-Rural Landscape

With increased urbanization across the globe comes more invasive species. Humans accidentally bring pests with them when they travel across the world. The highly invasive Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, has been found in Wake County, North Carolina. Emily Reed, a graduate student at NC State, collected mosquito eggs from 15 sites across Wake County... Continue Reading →
