Genetic consequences of anthropogenic disturbances and population fragmentation in Acacia senegal

2016-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Acacia senegal is endemic to dry forest and woodland ecosystems of Sub-Saharan Africa and provides both ecological and socio-economic benefits. However, these ecosystems are threatened by escalating human disturbances and fragmentation. To investigate the human impacts on genetic diversity and structure of A. senegal, we studied genetic variability and differentiation of 330 individual trees from 11 natural A. sen...
