Ph.D. Thesis (2009-2012)

Individual-based sampling scheme in landscape genetics: assessing the impacts of anthropogenic fragmentation on dispersal patterns in the alpine newt Ichthyosaura alpestris. (PDF)

I completed my PhD thesis in 2012 through a CIFRE contract (Industrial Agreement for Training through Research, CIFRE convention). My work is summerized below.

Anthropogenic activities lead to profound landscape alterations: dispersal success thus holds a paramount importance for long-term persistence of populations. Landscape genetics is a recent discipline aiming to detect and describe dispersal patterns through indirect estimations of gene flow. Although the use of an individual-based sampling scheme has been proposed for a long time to get round the issue of an a priori delimitation of population boundaries, most landscape genetic studies are still based on a population-based sampling scheme. Results from simulations showed that decreasing the sampling coverage of individuals within populations in favour of a better sampling coverage of aggregates through space allowed a better detection of the impacts of landscape on gene flow, whatever the individual dispersal behaviour or the landscape configuration. When considering the dispersal patterns in the alpine newt Ichthyosaura alpestris, both in the vicinity of large transport infrastructures (Isolation-by-barrier IBB) and in an agricultural landscape (Isolation-by-landscape-resistance IBR), the individual-based sampling scheme proved to be a flexible and efficient methodological alternative to the more conventional population-based sampling scheme.
