As hard as species are to count, it is even harder to know how they move around the landscape. Yet migration and dispersal are critical to understand, for example to maintain migration routes among protected areas. The history of movement of a species is captured in the pattern of how alleles are spread via gene flow by individuals moving around the landscape (Manel and Holderegger 2013), indicating what conduits of habitat should be protected (e.g. in the case of frogs on Mount Kilimanjaro: Zancolli et al. 2014). This is the essence of landscape genetics.
