Lack of Population Genetic Structuring in Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) in a Fragmented Landscape

Habitat fragmentation can promote patches of small and isolated populations, gene flow disruption between those populations, and reduction of local and total genetic variation. As a consequence, these small populations may go extinct in the long-term. The ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), originally dist...
