After quality control filtering for missingness and minor allele frequency, more than 160,000 high\u2010quality autosomal SNPs were retained for each species. Despite being designed for a different species, the array effectively discriminated between\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>A.\u2009flavicollis<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    and\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>A.\u2009sylvaticus<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    , with principal component analysis clearly separating the two species.

Population structure analyses revealed extremely weak spatial genetic differentiation. ADMIXTURE supported a single genetic cluster (\n                    <jats:italic>K<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20091) within each species, while analysis of molecular variance attributed more than 99% of genetic variation to within\u2010individual components. Pairwise relationship analyses showed that related individuals were not confined to single sites but occurred across sampling locations, supporting ongoing gene flow even across the fragmented landscape. No significant isolation\u2010by\u2010distance pattern was detected. Overall, our results indicate high population connectivity and limited spatial genetic structuring in both species across the study area, consistent with the documented dispersal capacity of these species at the spatial scale investigated. Moreover, this study demonstrates that high\u2010density SNP arrays can provide powerful genomic tools for investigating dispersal dynamics and population structure in closely related wildlife species under habitat fragmentation, where subtle genetic patterns may otherwise remain undetected.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.74345","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]],"date-time":"2026-09-09T03:22:55Z","timestamp":1788924175000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["High\u2010Density SNP Genotyping Reveals High Population Connectivity and Limited Spatial Genetic Structure in\n                    <i>Apodemus flavicollis<\/i>\n                    and\n                    <i>Apodemus sylvaticus<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Maria Chiara","family":"Fabbri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment, and Forestry (DAGRI) University of Florence  Florence Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5612-925X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matilde","family":"Martini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment, and Forestry (DAGRI) University of Florence  Florence Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanna","family":"Donati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment, and Forestry (DAGRI) University of Florence  Florence Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Coiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Park Authority of the Lucanian Apennines \u2013 Val d'Agri \u2013 Lagonegrese  Potenza Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Luzzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Park Authority of the Lucanian Apennines \u2013 Val d'Agri \u2013 Lagonegrese  Potenza Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luciano","family":"Ferraro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Park Authority of the Lucanian Apennines \u2013 Val d'Agri \u2013 Lagonegrese  Potenza Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donata","family":"Coppola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Park Authority of the Lucanian Apennines \u2013 Val d'Agri \u2013 Lagonegrese  Potenza Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Riccardo","family":"Bozzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment, and Forestry (DAGRI) University of Florence  Florence Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","volume-title":"Mammalia II Erinaceomorpha, Soricomorpha, Lagomorpha, Rodentia","author":"Amori G.","year":"2008"},{"issue":"1984","key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","first-page":"217","article-title":"Sui Roditori (Gliridae, Arvicolidae, Muridae) Dell'italia Peninsulare ed Insulare in Rapporto All'ambiente Bioclimatico Mediterraneo","volume":"11","author":"Amori G.","year":"1986","journal-title":"Animal"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10592\u2010016\u20100898\u20102"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/mammalia\u20102014\u20100051"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/genetics\/iyaf009"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4404\/hystrix\u201000811\u20102025"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13742\u2010015\u20100047\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10592\u2010025\u201001728\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1146\u2010609X(99)80014\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10592\u2010007\u20109317\u2010z"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/11769343050010000"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/genetics\/131.2.479"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","unstructured":"Filippucci M.
