Evidence of high genetic differentiation driven by limited gene flow in a lower canopy African tropical rainforest tree species, Coula edulis Baill. (Coulaceae).

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The distribution of intra-specific genetic diversity in tropical African forest tree species often reveals discontinuities in the form of genetic clusters distributed in parapatry or allopatry. To date, most population genetic studies have focused on canopy trees, while few studies have examined lower canopy tree species, which might differ in gene dispersal capacities. In this study, we used nuclear...
