Background Background Rapidly growing field of landscape genetics in ecological research Rapidly growing field of landscape genetics in ecological research Promising approach using GIS visualization and analysis of genetic landscapes Promising approach using GIS visualization and analysis of genetic landscapes Allows users to map patterns of genetic divergence and diversity Allows users to map patterns of genetic divergence and diversity Need to automate a series of steps to create these genetic landscapes Need to automate a series of steps to create these genetic landscapes Python tool speeds up work and reduces error in complex, repetitive workflows Python tool speeds up work and reduces error in complex, repetitive workflows Script Output Python Script

3. Script Overview Script Overview Three Main Sections - Three Main Sections - 1.Read in species point data, create TIN edges with midpoints, join back to points to create composite key join back to points to create composite key 2. Read in file with genetic distance data, create composite key, join back to the species midpoints file 3. Create single species genetic surfaces

4. Input data Input data Species collection points Table with genetic distance values
