The effect of climatic forcing on population synchrony and genetic structuring of the Canadian lynx

摘要: The abundance of Canadian lynx follows 10-year density fluctuations across the subcontinent. These cyclic have earlier been shown to be geographically structured into three climatic regions: Atlantic, Continental, and Pacific zones. Recent genetic evidence revealed an essentially similar spatial structuring. Introducing a new population model, “climate forcing ecological evolutionary patterns” we link observed patterns. Specifically, demonstrate that there is greater phase synchrony within zones than between them show external may act as synchronizer. We simulated drift by using data on dynamics generated climate patterns structuring can seen emerging property spatiotemporal dynamics.
