Conservation strategies for Allegheny chinkapin
Chestnut blight has a devastating effect on American chestnuts and chinkapins (Castanea pumila). With the aim of developing appropriate conservation strategies, Fu and Dane (pp. 223-230) use allozymes to assess the genetic diversity of Allegheny chinkapin populations. Genetic variation is shown to be greatest within the populations. No differentiation along the Appalachian mountain range was detected.
