“…This integration not only allies molecular epidemiology with landscape ecology, but advances both into the realm of ‘landscape community genomics’ [66], only just envisioned to explore previously impenetrable eco-evolutionary causes and consequences of genomic structure. First inroads would be well-timed to seek out the potential of landscape genomics in forecasting land use, climate change and intervention impacts on parasite dispersal.…”

Summary Substantial heterogeneity exists in the dispersal, distribution and transmission of parasitic species. Understanding and predicting how such features are governed by the ecological variation of landscape they inhabit is the central goal of spatial epidemiology. Genetic data can further inform functional connectivity among parasite, host and vector populations in a landscape. Gene flow correlates with the spread of epidemiologically relevant phenotypes among parasite and vector populations (e.g., virulence, drug and pesticide resistance), as well as invasion and re-invasion risk where parasite transmission is absent due to current or past intervention measures. However, the formal integration of spatial and genetic data (‘landscape genetics’) is scarcely ever applied to parasites. Here, we discuss the specific challenges and practical prospects for the use of landscape genetics and genomics to understand the biology and control of parasitic disease and present a practical framework for doing so.

“…Although such comprehensive analyses of the ecological and genetic basis of dispersal have been conducted for a few species (e.g., [59][60][61][62]), we are not aware of any work of similar intensity targeting hybrids. Nevertheless, conceptual and methodological tools for these analyses are expanding rapidly [57,63,64], suggesting that we are on the verge of a rapid expansion of insight on the evolutionary and ecological drivers of dispersal in diverse systems and taxa, including invasive hybrids.…”

Phylogeography and landscape genetics have arisen within the past 30 y. Phylogeography is said to be the bridge between population genetics and systematics, and landscape genetics the bridge between landscape ecology and population genetics. Both fields can be considered as simply the amalgamation of classic biogeography with genetics and genomics; however, they differ in the temporal, spatial, and organismal scales addressed and the methodology used. I begin by briefly summarizing the history and purview of each field and suggest that, even though landscape genetics is a younger field (coined in 2003) than phylogeography (coined in 1987), early studies by Dobzhansky on the "microgeographic races" of Linanthus parryae in the Mojave Desert of California and Drosophila pseudoobscura across the western United States presaged the fields by over 40 y. Recent advances in theory, models, and methods have allowed researchers to better synthesize ecological and evolutionary processes in their quest to answer some of the most basic questions in biology. I highlight a few of these novel studies and emphasize three major areas ripe for investigation using spatially explicit genomic-scale data: the biogeography of speciation, lineage divergence and species delimitation, and understanding adaptation through time and space. Examples of areas in need of study are highlighted, and I end by advocating a union of phylogeography and landscape genetics under the more general field: biogeography.biogeography | comparative phylogeography | speciation | evolution | Dobzhansky
