N, number of individuals genotyped; Na, number of alleles per locus; Ho, observed heterozygosity; He, expected heterozygosity; R, corrected allelic richness; FIS, fixation index.

P-values: n.s., P > 0·05;*, P < 0·05;**, P < 0·01;***; P < 0·001 (P-values were adjusted using the sequential Bonferroni procedure; Rice, 1989) [the indicative adjusted nominal level (5 %) is 0·0021, 0·00084, 0·00042 for region, provenance and population, respectively].

Landscape code: 1, forest landscape presenting no fragmentation but some small zones (<0·5 ha) are clear cut within the forest; 2, recently fragmented forest, characterized by large fragments (several hundred hectares) separated by 500–1500 m; 3, forest strongly impacted by slash and burn leading to fragmentation, in which the landscape is characterized by small forest fragments (10–20 ha) separated by >2000 m (fragmentation occurred >20 years ago).

Allelic richness per locus and population is based on minimum sample size of seven diploid individuals for regions, 14 diploid individuals for provenances and 15 diploid individuals for populations.
