Questions and Answers

What is one of the weaknesses of common practice in landscape genetic analysis?

Overemphasis on statistical model quality without considering management implementation
Failure to match the study area extent with conservation management units and species' dispersal potential (correct)
Neglecting the inclusion of variables useful for management implementation in statistical models
Lack of focus on identifying thresholds for landscape effects on gene flow

What is recommended to further improve the applicability of landscape genetic studies?

Expanding the study area extent without considering dispersal potential
Focusing solely on the quality of statistical models
Identifying thresholds for landscape effects on gene flow (correct)
Increasing the complexity of statistical models to include more variables

What should be optimised in landscape genetic studies to enhance the quality of statistical models?

The extent of the study area
The number of conservation management units included
The complexity of variables included in the models
The quality of the underlying statistical models (correct)
