The spatial genetic structure within sympatric populations of two neotropical dioecious palm species with contrasting life histories was characterized to evaluate the influence of life history traits on the extent of genetic isolation by distance. Chamaedorea tepejilote is a common wind-pollinated arboreal understory palm. Chamaedorea elatior is an uncommon climbing subcanopy palm with entomophilous pollination syndrome. A total of 59 allozyme alleles for C. tepejilote and 53 alleles for C. elatior was analyzed using both unweighted (Iu) and weighted (Iw) Moran's I spatial autocorrelation statistics. The spatial genetic structure detected within these populations is consistent with those reported for highly dispersed plants. A significance test for differences between mean Moran's I-coefficients revealed less spatial genetic structure within the C. tepejilote population than that in the C. elatior population. Adjacent individuals of C. elatior exhibited significant spatial genetic autocorrelation (Iu=0.039, Iw=0.034), indicating a Wright's neighborhood size of about 100 individuals. For C. tepejilote, nonrandom genetic distribution among nearest neighbors was detected, even from small spatial autocorrelation values (Iu=0.008, Iw=0.009), consistent with a neighborhood size of about 300 individuals. For both species, seed dispersal, mortality among life cycle stages, overlapping generations, and contrasting traits of mating and reproduction influence the standing spatial genetic structure within populations.
