Abstract
Ten microsatellite loci were used to investigate the impact of human activity on the spatial and temporal genetic structure of Vitellaria paradoxa (Sapotaceae), a parkland tree species in agroforestry systems in southern Mali. Two stands (forest and fallow) and three cohorts (adults, juveniles and natural regeneration) in each stand were studied to: W compare their levels of genetic diversity (gene diversity, H-E; allelic richness, R-s; and inbreeding, F-IS); (ii) assess their genetic differentiation (F-ST); and (iii) compare their levels of spatial genetic structuring. Gene diversity parameters did not vary substantially among stands or cohorts, and tests for bottleneck events were nonsignificant. The inbreeding coefficients were not significantly different from zero in most cases (F-ISFLWINinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publisheKeywords
