Fine-scale barriers to connectivity across a fragmented South-East Asian landscape in six songbird species.

abstract：:The sustainability of modern agriculture relies on strategies that can control the ability of pathogens to overcome chemicals or genetic resistances through natural selection. This evolutionary potential, which depends partly on effective population size (N e ), is greatly influenced by human activities. In this conte...
