The purpose of this two-day course is to provide students and researchers advanced training in the science of landscape genetics and connectivity modeling, with a focus on using individual-based empirical analyses of genetic differentiation and spatially explicit landscape genetic simulation models to develop resistance surfaces, and then using these resistance surfaces to predict population connectivity, identify dispersal barriers and map movement corridors.
