Integrative analyses of spatial, genetic, and demographic information for investigating the population dynamics of the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus)

My postdoctoral research aims to study the role of connectivity in the maintenance of genetic diversity in the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus). I am using a combination of movement data (GPS) and genetic markers to quantify the contemporary processes conditioning the maintenance of connectivity to better understand historical connectivity.
