Isolation by resistance explains genetic diversity in the Arremon brushfinches of northern Mesoamerica

In this study, we carried out a landscape genomics analysis using NextRAD data from a montane forest specialist bird complex, the Mesoamerican Chestnut-capped/Green-striped Brushfinch of the genus Arremon.This study will shed light on the relative influence of different landscape variables in testing the various genetic isolation hypotheses in this allopatric species. This will provide a broader view of the ecological factors driving speciation processes in montane species.
