Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: We investigated how genetic diversity is distributed across the range of Cedrela fissilis, a tree species associated with seasonal neotropical forests, to gain insights into competing biogeographic scenarios that explain how disjunct distributions of these forests were shaped. METHODS: A total of 250 samples were sampled from 18 sites across the species' range in Brazil and eastern Bolivia...
