Several approaches were used to study the breeding structure of tropical tree populations located on Barro Colorado Island, Republic of Panama. Allozyme analyses of 16 woody species indicated that the distribution of genetic diversity among collection sites was closely associated with the species' breeding system and seed dispersal mechanism. Low levels of diversity observed among collection sites separated by 1-2 km indicate that intersite gene flow is high. Estimates of the proportion of outcrossing obtained for seven species indicated that the majority (6) were highly outcrossed. A significant amount of tree to tree heterogeneity in pollen allele frequencies also existed for each outcrossing species. Degree of heterogeneity in pollen allele frequencies received by maternal trees was negatively associated with flowering tree density. In the mixed mating species, Cavanillesia plantanifolia, the proportion of selfing was closely related to flowering tree density. A significant proportion of the pollen received by individuals of these eight species came from relative few individuals. Pollen movement within populations was estimated for two canopy species. Long distance pollen movement (>750 m) was extensive (>20%) in both species. The breeding structure of these tropical species appears to be a mixture of near-neighbor (30%-50%) and long-distance pollen movement (10%-25%). If this pattern is typical of tropical tree species, it has important implications for the genetic structure of populations as well as for the design of conservation areas.
