The spatial genetic structure in natural populations of the Australian temperate rainforest tree Atherosperma moschatum (Labill.) (Monimiaceae)

Abstract: The spatial distribution of genotypes at six enzyme loci was investigated in 17 natural populations of the temperate rainforest tree Atherosperina moschatum using spatial autocorrelation. The results from the different enzymes were consistent at each population as well as among populations, particularly at short distances. There were stronger associations overall between like homozygous trees than like heterozygous trees. Unlike trees were generally significantly negatively autocorrelated at short distances.

“…Consistently, most studies involving large populations have elicited patterns of spatial genetic organization over short distances (Epperson & Clegg, 1986;Schoen & Latta, 1989;Perry & Knowles, 1991;Schnabel et at., 1991;Wagner et a!., 1991;Shapcott, 1995), although some exceptions seem to occur (Levin, 1976;Dewey & Heywood, 1988). The existence of spatial structuring in large populations facilitates the generation and maintenance of high levels of variability with which to sustain efficient reproductive performance, survive stochastic events or adjust to novel fluctuating environments (Huenneke, 1991).…”

“…Os estudos sobre a estrutura genética espacial de populações de plantas têm revelado padrões diferenciados. Há os que obtém estruturação moderada em faixas curtas de distância e atribuem tal fato à dispersão limitada de pólen e sementes, à reprodução vegetativa e à seleção variando espacialmente (Perry & Knowles 1991, Schnabel et al 1991, Loiselle et al 1995, Shapcott 1995. Há estudos que não encontraram evidências de estruturação (Leonardi & Menozzi 1996, Doligez & Joly 1997.…”

“…A distribuição espacial da variabilidade gené-tica dentro de populações naturais de plantas pode influenciar significativamente os processos evolutivos e ecológicos dessas populações, resultando em agregados de genótipos específicos (Shapcott 1995). Dentre os fatores que podem levar à formação de estrutura espacial estão a diferenciação de um cará-ter, em resposta a um gradiente ambiental, a heterogeneidade entre ambientes, associada à homogeneidade dentro destes ambientes, fatores históricos, como a extinção local e a recolonização por migrantes, e a dispersão limitada de pólen e sementes, a qual favorece cruzamentos entre indivíduos próximos, causando o isolamento pela distância (Sokal & Oden 1978b, Epperson 1995, Loiselle et al 1995.…”
