Population density influences genetic connectivity in the Canary Islands endemics <i>Viola cheiranthifolia</i> and <i>Viola guaxarensis</i>
Conservation measures that increase population density enhance genetic connectivity in these endangered endemic violets. Furthermore, understanding how specific landscape variables shape connectivity can directly inform restoration efforts in targeted areas. By identifying key connectivity hubs and zones most in need of intervention, our research offers practical strategies for enhancing the resilience of this unique island flora.
