Spatiotemporal Genetic Diversity of Lions

Caitlin Curry, Brian W. Davis, Laura D. Bertola, Paula A. White, William J. Murphy, James N. Derr

This study analyzes genetic diversity in lions over time, finding decreased nuclear diversity and increased fine-scale structure due to habitat fragmentation, while mitochondrial diversity remained stable.
