6 Summary

Landscape structures determine without any doubt biodiversity. Species and populations react to abiotic and biotic changes of their habitat, attempting to adapt their behaviour and genetics in order to survive. During their history, however, humans have increasingly caused changes that forced species to adapt rapidly to anthropogenic landscapes, otherwise they became extinct. We here introduce experimental and statistical approaches in population genetics to measure genetic variation within and between populations. Recent population biological studies are presented to show exemplarily adaptation processes of species or ecosystems to natural and anthropogenic habitats. Some approaches to find more general principles that determine the dynamics of ecosystems are considered: (1) the use of meta-analyses is briefly considered, and (2) the application and possibilities of ecological modelling for describing factors that control complex natural systems are discussed. Our conclusion is that approaches in ecological modelling need the integration of population genetics in order to obtain a better insight into evolutionary processes that are induced by human activities.
