Landscape Genomics of a Widely Distributed Snake, (Gmelin, 1789) across Eastern Europe and Western Asia.

Across the distribution of the Caspian whipsnake (), populations have become increasingly disconnected due to habitat alteration. To understand population dynamics and this widespread but locally endangered snake's adaptive potential, we investigated population structure, admixture, and effective migration patterns. We took a landscape-genomic approach to identify selected genotypes associated with environmental variables relevant to .
