Location of sites used in the present AFLP study for Nigella degenii distributed across the Cyclades, and summary of AFLP variation for a total of seven populations. Variation is described by the proportion of AFLP markers (‘loci’) polymorphic (PLP) and Nei's (1973) expected heterozygosity He (or ‘gene diversity’, with FIS assumed to be zero) calculated by the program Fdist (Beaumont & Nichols 1996).
