Abstract

The article focuses on the promotion of landscape genetics which asses how landscape structure and composition affects movement, dispersal and gene flow of plants and animals. It combines the theory methods of population genetics with geographic information systems (GIS) applications, spatial analyses and modeling of landscape ecology. Landscape genetics uses three approaches in detecting the effects of landscape structure including genetic discontinuities, genetic distance and gene flow.
