Abstract Neolitsea sericea (Bl.) Koidz.(Lauraceae) is a dioecious, insect-pollinated, and
broad-leaved evergreen tree with bird-dispersed seeds. We used allozyme loci, F-statistics,
and spatial autocorrelation statistics (Moran's I) to examine the changes in genetic structure
among five age classes within a study population (60 m× 100 m area) in southern Korea. No
significant differences in expected heterozygosity were found among the age classes. The
mean F-values averaged over loci were similar among age classes and showed overall …
