}This study aimed to assess the population genetic structure of a widespread Neotropical tree species, Simarouba amara, at local, regional and continental spatial scales. We used five microsatellite loci to examine genetic variation in 14 natural populations (N = 478 individuals) of this vertebrate-dispersed rain forest tree species in Panama, Ecuador, and French Guiana. Estimates of genetic differentiation (Fst and Rst) were significant among all but one population pair and global… CONTINUE READING
