Population Structure in Alabama Gopher Tortoises
A RADseq study of population structure in populations of Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) across southern Alabama. We calculated levels of population structure, connectivity, genetic diversity and effective population sizes across a number of areas. The study is relevant for conservation of Gopher Tortoises, and to better understand how populations of Gopher Tortoises are connected in Alabama.
