Failure to account for genetic variation can result in overestimating extinction risk

New research led by the University of Southampton has shown that the threat of range losses for some species as a result of climate change

How will greening the desert affect bats and the ecosystem services they provide? Supervisors: Dr Orly Razgour (University of Southampton) Dr Kelvin Peh (University of Southampton)

Landscape Genetics: the effect of environmental heterogeneity on movement ecology and range shifts

Combining spatial ecology and population genetics

Landscape Genetics across spatial scales

We combine population genetics with species distribution modelling and geographical information. Our work has shown the scale-dependent effect of the landscape on gene flow and population structure in bats.

Phylogeography and evolutionary history

Combining genetic and environmental data with spatial modelling and inference of evolutionary history to show how past climatic changes shaped patterns of genetic variation.
