Despite the substantial interest in landscape genetics from the scientific community,
learning about the concepts and methods underlying the field remains very challenging.
The reason for this is the highly interdisciplinary nature of the field, which combines
population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial statistics. These fields have
traditionally been treated separately in classes and textbooks, and very few scientists
have received the interdisciplinary training necessary to efficiently teach or apply
the diversity of techniques encompassed by landscape genetics. To address the current
knowledge gap, this book provides the first in depth treatment of landscape genetics
in a single volume. Specifically, this book delivers fundamental concepts and methods
underlying the field, covering particularly important analytical methods in detail,
and presenting empirical and theoretical applications of landscape genetics for a
variety of environments and species. Consistent with the interdisciplinary nature
of landscape genetics, the book combines an introductory, textbook like section with
additional sections on advanced topics and applications that are more typical of edited
volumes. The chapter topics and the expertise of the authors and the editorial team
make the book a standard reference for anyone interested in landscape genetics. The
book includes contributions from many of the leading researchers in landscape genetics.
The group of scientists we have assembled has worked on several collaborative projects
over the last years, including a large number of peer reviewed papers, several landscape
genetics workshops at international conferences, and a distributed graduate seminar
on landscape genetics. Based on the experiences gained during these collaborative
teaching and research activities, the book includes chapters that synthesize fundamental
concepts and methods underlying landscape genetics (Part 1), chapters on advanced
topics that deserve a more in depth treatment (Part 2), and chapters illustrating
the use of concepts and methods in empirical applications (Part 3). This structure
ensures a high usefulness of the book for beginning landscape geneticists and experienced
researchers alike, so that it has a broad target audience. At least one of the four
co editors is involved in almost every chapter of the book, thereby ensuring a high
consistency and coherency among chapters
