Stand development stages and recruitment patterns influence fine-scale spatial genetic structure in two Patagonian Nothofagus species

Table 3 Genetic diversity of mature trees of N. alpina and N. obliqua for Chidiak and Quilanlahue

Species	Population	N	Ne	AR	Ho	He
N. alpina	Chidiak	76	2.036	4.374*	0.487	0.464
N. alpina	Quilanlahue	109	2.284	4.703*	0.466	0.497
N. obliqua	Chidiak	85	2.072	3.562	0.273	0.394
N. obliqua	Quilanlahue	84	2.142	3.540	0.227	0.375

Diversity parameters averaged over all loci
N sample size (number of individuals), Ne number of effective alleles, AR allelic richness (N = 71 for N. alpina and N = 45 for N. obliqua), Ho observed heterozygosity, HE expected heterozygosity or Nei diversity (Nei 1973)
