Ian has published a new paper on urban landscape genetics in collaboration with Andre Lourenco and Guillermo Velo-Anton from CIBIO (Portugal) and David Alvarez from the University of Oviedo (Spain). The paper examines the effects of urbanization on demography and genetic isolation in fire salamanders in the historical city of Oviedo, a centuries old city in northern Spain.
