Genetic characteristics of Myrtus nivellei in each of the three central Saharan mountain ranges (Hoggar, Tassili n’Immidir and Tassili n’Ajjer). Microsatellite markers were used to determine the total number of individuals (N), the allelic richness (AR) and the private allelic richness after rarefaction (PAR), the observed heterozygosity (H_o), the unbiased expected heterozygosity (UH_e), the Shannon’s information index (I) and the F_IS-statistic.
