Both forest and grassland populations of Butia eriospatha show moderate genetic diversity and significant differentiation.
Genetic assessments found outcrossing rates near unity, marking allogamy as predominant in both habitats.
Spatial genetic structure in the forest extends to 60 m, while grassland populations exhibit a range of only 30 m.
To maximize genetic diversity, collection efforts should involve 132 to 139 seed-trees from both habitats.
