Landscape connectivity among coastal giant salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) populations shows no association with land use, fire frequency, or river drainage but exhibits genetic signatures of potential conservation concern

Determining the genetic consequences of both historical and contemporary events can clarify the effects of the environment on population connectivity and inform conservation decisions. Historical events (like glaciations) and contemporary factors (like logging) can disrupt gene flow between populati...
