Testing hierarchical levels of population sub-structuring: the Azores islands (Portugal) as a case study.

Journal of biosocial science - 1 Jul 2008

Santos Cristina, Abade Augusto, Lima Manuela

Abstract excerpt

The Azores archipelago (Portugal) is formed by nine islands whose relative positions define them as three geographical groups: Eastern (S. Miguel and Sta. Maria), Central (Terceira, Faial, Pico, Graciosa and S. Jorge) and Western (Flores and Corvo).
