Background and Aims Wild olive (Olea europaea subsp. europaea var. sylvestris) is important from an economic and ecological point of view. The effects of anthropogenic activities may lead to the genetic erosion of its genetic patrimony, which has high value for breeding programmes. In particular, the consequences of the introgression from cultivated stands are strongly dependent on the extent of gene flow and therefore this work aims at quantitatively describing contemporary gene flow patterns in wild olive natural populations.SSRs, gene flow, paternity assignment, SGS, oleaster, wild olive, pollen dispersal, seed dispersal, conservation genetics, Olea europaeaSSRs, Genfluss, Vaterschaftsbestimmung, SGS, Oleaster, wilde Olive, Pollenausbreitung, Samenausbreitung, Erhaltungsgenetik, Olea europaea
