Novel operational index reveals rapid recovery of genetic connectivity in freshwater fish species after riverine restoration
Abstract Hyperfragmentation of rivers by anthropogenic barriers is a major threat to biodiversity. Restoration policies are being adopted worldwide to mitigate these impacts, particularly those on fish connectivity. We assessed the utility of a novel genetic index of fragmentation, the FINDEX, by mo...
