Description :
After a brief overview of selected molecular markers, the AA. discuss lines of biogeographic inquiry involving genetic analyses where geographers can potentially make the greatest contribution. Examples from their own genetically-based biogeographic research are provided. These include examination of spatial patterns of genetic variation, inferences about paleoenvironmental conditions, determination of evolutionary relationships, and analysis of genetic effects of human activity.
