A population genetic analysis of migration: the case of the noctule bat ( Nyctalus noctula)
Abstract Although rarely assessed, the population genetics of hibernating colonies can help to understand some aspects of population structure, even when samples from nursery or mating colonies are not available, or in studies of migration when both types of samples are available and can be compared...
