Abstract excerpt
Molecular variance was estimated in seven populations of the endemic species Scalesia affinis within and among islands of the Galapagos. The analysis, based on 157 polymorphic AFLP markers, revealed a high differentiation among populations, of which most was partitioned among islands. In addition, the information content of AFLP markers was tested with sets of discriminant analyses based on different numbers of...
