Nathalie Escaravage, Jocelyne Cambecèdes, Gérard Largier and André Pornon present here the genetic structure of the endangered endemic species, Aster pyrenaeus. Only 14 populations remain in the Pyrenees and the Cantabrian Mounts. The study provides new insights into the pattern of plant genetic diversity across these mountain ranges.
