Abstract excerpt
Mean expected heterozygosity at 33 isozyme loci decreased with latitude from 0.193 near the southern extreme of Coulter pine's range to 0.107 at its northern extreme. This decrease was paralleled by a loss of alleles north of the Peninsular Ranges of southern California. Fifteen alleles dropped out along the roughly lineal range, at points coincident with large gaps in the species' distribution. The pattern may...
