Sampling deadline date is arrived for the FILMED project. During 2007 and 2008, up to 442 populations of the 8 FILMED species -as well as 12 close taxa- in 12 countries have been sampled, picking up leaves to be submitted to microsatelite analyses. The most visited countries have been Spain (185 samples), Italy (36), Greece (35), Argelia (35) and France (33). The most sampled species has been Pîstacia lentiscus (67); only this species has been sampled through the 12 countries: Argelia, Cyprus, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Lybia, Marocco, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey.
