Article Synopsis
- The study examines the genetic structure and gene flow of the thorn-tailed rayadito bird across its range in South America, highlighting the impact of habitat heterogeneity on population genetics.
- Using 12 microsatellite loci, researchers analyzed 582 individuals from eight locations and found moderately low regional genetic structure, especially with increasing geographic distance.
- The findings suggest that northern populations face restricted gene flow due to fragmented forests, while the southernmost population shows significant genetic differences and lower genetic diversity, indicating possible independent demographic trends.
