Genetic diversity and structure of the endemic Tanacetum cinerariifolium as a consequence of multiple processes operating at different temporal scales.

ABSTRACT: In this study on Dalmatian pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium (Trevir.) Sch.Bip.), we combined genetic analysis and ecological niche modeling to investigate the intraspecific diversity, genetic structure, historical and contemporary distribution, and factors determining the observed diversification patterns of this endemic species from the eastern Adriatic coast. The study included 12 newly developed microsatellite markers that exhibited high polymorphism allowing the characterization of different populations. The level of genetic diversity (H_E) ranged from 0.399 to 0.616, with an average value of 0.534. Genetic differentiation (F_ST) between populations was 0.178. Most of the genetic diversity was attributed to differences among individuals within populations, but h
