Defining population structure and genetic signatures of decline in the giant gartersnake (Thamnophis gigas): implications for conserving threatened species within highly altered landscapes

Anthropogenic habitat fragmentation can disrupt the ability of species to disperse across landscapes, which can alter the levels and distribution of genetic diversity within populations and negatively impact long-term viability. The giant gartersnake (Thamnophis gigas) is a state and federally threa...
