Spatial patterns of the genetic differentiation in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) at allozyme loci in the Carpathians and the adjacent regions

Genetic differentiation and spatial patterns of the genetic diversity distribution in European beech were investigated in the Carpathian mountain range and surrounding regions using 12 isozyme loci. In total, 139 populations were included. No interpertable trends of the genetic differentiation based...

Description
Summary:Genetic differentiation and spatial patterns of the genetic diversity distribution in European beech were investigated in the Carpathian mountain range and surrounding regions using 12 isozyme loci. In total, 139 populations were included. No interpertable trends of the genetic differentiation based on genetic distances were identified. However, genetic distogram indicates the existence of a stationary pattern: a significant similarity of populations separated by approx. 40 km and a significant dissimilarity in the 500 km distance class. Geostatistical analysis (kriging) revealed a clear geographical trend of the mean number of alleles per locus, with the highest levels observed in the southeastern edge of Carpathians and the lowest levels in the marginal regions. The trend of the genetic diversity was almost opposite, the highest levels were found in northern Poland.
