“…High genetic variability levels have been reported for some Brazilian angiosperm species (Borba et al, F. Feres et al 2001;Moraes and Derbyshire, 2002;Telles et al, 2003;Souza et al, 2004). Also, genetic variability, higher within populations than among populations, has been reported (Moraes and Derbyshire, 2003;Botrel and Carvalho, 2004;Gusson et al, 2005), together with the absence of geographical and genetic correlation (Yanaka et al, 2005) for native species. All results for Brazilian species, including Wunderlichia mirabilis, suggest that for the majority of native species, genetic variability is higher within populations than among populations.…”
