Article Synopsis
- Understanding how human-induced landscape fragmentation affects gene flow and evolution is crucial, particularly in species like the European brook lamprey, which struggle to migrate.
- The study focused on genetic diversity patterns in brook lampreys across various rivers, testing the impact of water currents on gene flow and the influence of a related species, the river lamprey, on genetic diversity.
- Findings suggest that while upstream genetic diversity decreases and barriers have a moderate effect, there is still significant downstream-directed gene flow and enhanced genetic diversity in populations living alongside river lampreys, highlighting the need for tailored conservation strategies in fragmented river systems.
