Isolation by distance and stochastic migration in a fragmented population of Prosopis alba
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Gene flow through dispersal of seeds and pollen is a fundamental determinant of spatial genetic structure (SGS) in natural populations of trees at different spatial scales. Within continuous populations, restrictions to gene flow should be manifested in a process of local genet...

METHODS: Three sites with different landscape and demographic characteristics were analyzed. Seven highly variable microsatellite markers were used to survey the relevance of both isolation by distance and stochastic migration in the SGS of the population. KEY RESULTS: The analyses showed that (1) the genetic similarity declined with increasing geographic distance, (2) the population may be conceived as a single genetically continuous unit showing spatial differentiation as consequence of isolation by distance, rather than a structured population following the island model, and (3) there is evidence supporting a past immigration event into one of the study sites, which promoted a local pattern of genetic structure. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that in spite of the population fragmentation produced by land-use changes, P. alba maintains the genetic cohesion and a continuous genetic structure in the analyzed area. © 2017 Botanical Society of America.
