biogeografialle
Biogeografialle, or the biogeography of alleles, is a field concerned with how genetic variation at the level of individual alleles is distributed across geographic space and over time. It integrates principles from biogeography, population genetics, and landscape genetics to understand spatial patterns of allele frequencies and their underlying processes.
The scope includes mapping allele frequencies in populations, identifying geographic clines, barriers to gene flow, and
Methods involve collecting georeferenced genetic data from individuals or populations, genotyping or sequencing to obtain allele
Applications include conservation planning, identifying refugia and corridors, mapping adaptive alleles in response to climate or
Relation to related fields: it overlaps with phylogeography, landscape genetics, and population genomics. It differs by
Limitations and challenges include uneven sampling, scale and resolution issues, spatial autocorrelation, multiple testing, and interpretive
