The UMR EcoFoG possesses an herbarium reference collection based on samples harvested all along the different forest plots studied by our teams. This collection is maintained by a botanist and stored on the Agronomical Campus of Kourou, INRA building. A Excel database is linked to this collection and the taxa found in it are listed in the Guyafor database. The collection gathers more than 3000 samples representing 74 families, 288 genera and more than 800 taxa.

The “Herbier IRD de Guyane” (CAY) was established in 1965 by R.A.A. Oldeman and harbors nearly 200000 specimens, mostly from French Guiana and nearby countries Suriname, Guyana, Brazil (particularly the state of Amapá), and Venezuela (state of Amazonas). The dataset presented here is the fruit of 30-years’ work by CAY’s staff as well as that of numerous other botanists who have helped make CAY a key scientific platform and leading center of botanical research for the Guiana Shield.

Geographical distribution of three nuclear clusters (Q1, Q2, Q3) inferred by a Bayesian clustering analysis (STRUCTURE) after evaluating genetic diversity at nine nuSSR over 217 Jacaranda copaia in five regions in the Neotropics (Western Amazonia, Southern Amazonia, Central Amazonia, Guiana Shield, Central America).
