景观遗传学的快速发展既令人兴奋又鼓舞人心，但同时也伴随着巨大的挑战。本章重点介绍了其中的一些挑战，并提供了景观遗传学的定义。然后，它提出了一个简单的概念框架景观遗传分析，这可能是特别有用的新手景观遗传学家。景观遗传学的研究方法可以用于不同的目的。具体来说，在景观遗传学中有两个主要的研究途径。一方面，有一些研究感兴趣的是了解景观特征如何影响微观进化过程。另一方面，有些研究对遗传变异或微进化本身不感兴趣，而是使用遗传数据来推断潜在的生态过程，如扩散或疾病传播。
The rapid growth of landscape genetics is both exciting and motivating, but it is also accompanied by tremendous challenges. This chapter highlights some of these challenges and provides a definition of landscape genetics. It then presents a simple conceptual framework for landscape genetic analyses, which can be particularly useful for the novice landscape geneticist. Landscape genetics is based on approaches that can be used for quite different purposes. Specifically, there are two major research avenues that are followed in landscape genetics. On the one hand, there are those studies that are interested in understanding how landscape characteristics affect microevolutionary processes. On the other hand, there are those studies that are not interested in genetic variation or microevolution in itself, but rather use genetic data to infer underlying ecological processes, such as dispersal or disease transmission.
