Brazil nut is a native Amazon species of high commercial value classified as vulnerable in terms of extinction risk due to marked illegal-burning activity and agricultural-frontier expansion processes occurring in the region. This study was undertaken to analyze the genetic diversity within and between two natural Brazil-nut populations occurring spontaneously in the Southern Amazon region spaced 50 km apart, both of which were located in the municipality of Alta Floresta, northern Mato Grosso state, Brazil. These are rural areas and samples were from native forest patches. Leaf samples were collected from 86 plants from distinct areas; 36 were from population AGRO (Agrocondor II Farm, geographic coordinates 55o30’ W and 9o00’ S) and 50 from population CAR (Carolina Farm, geographic coordinates 57o00’ W and 11o00’ S). A molecular-diversity study was conducted using 11 microsatellite loci developed for the species. To determine the level of genetic diversity between and within subpopulations, we applied principal coordinate analysis, analysis of molecular variance, observed and expected heterozygosity, polymorphic information
