Spatial population structure of a widespread aquatic insect in the Colorado River Basin: Evidence for a Hydropsyche oslari species complex
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Freshwater Science"
DOI: 10.1086/709022
Abstract: Structural connectivity and dispersal ability are important constraints on functional connectivity among populations. For aquatic organisms that disperse among stream corridors, the regional structure of a river network can, thus, define the boundaries of gene… read more here.
