Genes in space: What Mojave desert tortoise genetics can tell us about landscape connectivity
Habitat loss and fragmentation in the Mojave Desert have been increasing, which can create barriers to movement and gene flow leading to decreased populations of native species. Disturbance and degradation of Mojave desert tortoise habitat includes linear features (e.g. highways, railways, and a network of dirt roads), urbanized areas, and their associated infrastructure, mining activities, energy
