Article Synopsis
- High mountain species, like the water pipit, face threats from climate change and human land use, making gene flow between habitats essential for their survival.
- The study employed population genomics and landscape resistance models to explore how these birds disperse across the European Alps, finding that they tend to move more easily through suitable habitats like high-elevation grassland.
- Results showed strong support for the isolation by resistance (IBR) hypothesis, suggesting that limited habitat can intensify genetic isolation, with potential future impacts resulting from habitat loss.
