Neotropical Dry Forests are important biodiversity hotspots characterized by intermediate to high levels of species richness and endemism. A possible explanation for these characteristics is that such forests have been less affected by drastic glacial impacts than other biomes. Using two approaches, geo-statistical phylogeography, based on two chloroplast markers, and multi-algorithm-based niche modelling, for the present and for the past, we explored if, during glacial periods, the geographical range of Bulnesia sarmientoi was stable or underwent expansions or retractions in space and time and if there is a relationship among past climatic refugia, the current climatic optimum and genetic diversity. We estimated that B. sarmientoi would ha...
