Fine-scale maternal structure and high nuclear connectivity in the French populations of the Geoffroy’s Bat (Myotis emarginatus)
The Geoffroy’s bat (Myotis emarginatus) is a sedentary species increasingly threatened by habitat alteration. Here, we assessed genetic diversity and population structure in 760 individuals from 18 French maternity colonies using 34 microsatellite markers and mitochondrial D-loop sequences. Mitochondrial data revealed...
