Abstract:Context
Urban landscapes present a diverse matrix of structures and habitats containing significant physical and behavioural barriers to terrestrial wildlife dispersal. As a result, large mammals, with large home ranges, may be negatively impacted as behavioural and physical barriers are created. However, our understanding of these barriers in the context of genetic connectivity within urbanising landscapes is limited, particularly so for herbivores occupying these spaces.
