“…Molecular genetic methods permit inferences about wildlife dispersal without the need to collect extensive field data on individual movements (Frantz, Do Linh San, Pope, & Burke, 2010;Guillot, Leblois, Coulon, & Frantz, 2009). Recently, numerous studies of gene flow in urban areas have been published, but many of those focus on smaller and less mobile species that are thought to face major barriers in urban areas (Beninde, Feldmeier, Veith, & Hochkirch, 2018;Combs, Puckett, Richardson, Mims, & Munshi-South, 2018;Munshi-South, 2012). Studies on larger and more vagile species, in contrast, analysed the population genetic structure of animals from peripheral suburban populations or from isolated sampling sites within urban and rural areas (Blanchong, Sorin, & Scribner, 2013;Santonastaso, Dubach, Hauver, Graser, & Gehrt, 2012;Stillfried, Fickel, et al, 2017;Wandeler, Funk, Largiadèr, Gloor, & Breitenmoser, 2003).…”
