We implemented a temporally dynamic approach to the cladistic biogeographic analysis of 13 areas of North American deserts and several plant and animal taxa. We undertook a parsimony analysis of paralogy‐free subtrees based on 43 phylogenetic hypotheses of arthropod, vertebrate and plant taxa, assigning their nodes to three different time slices based on their estimated minimum ages: Early‐Mid‐Miocene (23−7 Ma), Late Miocene/Pliocene (6.9−2.5 Ma) and Pleistocene (2.4−0.011 Ma). The analyses resulted in three general area cladograms, one for each time slice, showing different area relationships. They allowed us to detect influences of different geological and palaeoclimatological events of the Early‐Mid‐Miocene, Late Miocene/Pliocene and Pleistocene that might have affected the diversification of the desert biota. Several diversification events in the deserts of North America might have been driven by Neogene uplift, marine incursion and the opening of the California Gulf during the Miocene–Pliocene, whereas climatic fluctuations had the highest impact during the Pleistocene.

“…Contrary with these findings, previous studies of other desert scrub plant species from the Chihuahuan Desert (e.g. Scheinvar et al., ; Sosa et al., ; Vásquez‐Cruz & Sosa, ) have found strong plastid phylogeographic structure within the SMO. However, in these species seed dispersal is carried out abiotically (i.e.…”

“…Evolutionary and phylogeographic studies of the Chihuahuan Desert biota (e.g. Bryson, García‐Vázquez & Riddle, ; Castellanos‐Morales, Gámez, Castillo‐Gámez & Eguiarte, ; Rebernig et al., ; Sosa, Ruiz‐Sanchez & Rodriguez‐Gomez, ; Vásquez‐Cruz & Sosa, ) have found evidence of Pleistocene demographic expansion, and strong phylogeographical structure linked to either late Neogene or Quaternary time periods. Nevertheless, there is still some debate to disentangle the effect of late Neogene orogenic activity versus Pleistocene climate events on the phylogeographic and demographic history in the inter‐tropical regions of Mexico (Gámez et al., ; Mastretta‐Yanes, Moreno‐Letelier, Piñero, Jorgensen & Emerson, ).…”

Aim We investigate the influence of late Neogene orogenic activity and Pleistocene glacial‐interglacial cycles on intraspecific divergence and demographic history in the gymnosperm shrub Ephedra compacta. We test refugia hypotheses to explain geographical patterns of genetic diversity and phylogeographic structure in a warm North American desert that reaches inter‐tropical latitudes. Location Chihuahuan Desert, Mexican Plateau, Sierra Madre Oriental, Tehuacán Valley. Methods Geographical patterns of genetic diversity were estimated using chloroplast DNA sequences of 191 individuals from 24 populations. AMOVA and SAMOVA analyses were used to assess population and phylogeographic structure, respectively. Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) was implemented to test phylogeograhic scenarios of population divergence and demographic expansion. Ecological niche modelling (ENM) was performed to predict the potential distribution of E. compacta during the late Pleistocene and to estimate historical habitat stability. Refugia hypotheses were tested by estimating the linear associations between habitat stability, latitude and parameters of genetic diversity. Results High levels of population and phylogeographic structure were observed with six geographical groups explaining most of the variation. The best‐supported phylogeographic scenario assumed population divergence and demographic expansion during the Pleistocene. ENM predictions showed historical changes in the potential distribution of E. compacta, with a broader geographical extent in the present. Habitat stability was positively associated with population genetic diversity. Main conclusions The intraspecific population divergence and demographic expansion in E. compacta is probably associated with the glacial‐interglacial cycles of the Pleistocene. Our ENM predictions also support a scenario of habitat contraction and expansion during this time period. The phylogeographic history of E. compacta is predicted by climate refugia dynamics in which specific areas, primarily in the Mexican Plateau harbour the highest levels of habitat stability and genetic diversity.

“…that inhabits high, cold and dry regions, around the foothills of the mountains in xerophytic areas (at altitudes between 2000 to 2800 m), with a geographical distribution mostly spanning the TMVB. Few studies in Mexico have assessed the genetic structure and population history in plants within xerophytic vegetation in the highlands (Sosa et al 2009; Ruiz-Sanchez et al 2012; Gándara and Sosa 2014; Valencia-Cuevas et al 2014). In this study, we used chloroplast DNA microsatellites (cpSSRs) to investigate phylogeographic patterns in populations of Q. deserticola.…”

Mexico is a center of diversification for the genus Quercus, with an important number of taxa occurring along the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB). However, the impact of the interaction between historical and current climatic variation and geological heterogeneity in the TMVB on the genetic and phenotypic diversification within oak species has been scarcely investigated. We used chloroplast DNA microsatellites and a geometric morphometrics analysis of leaf shape to understand differentiation between populations of Quercus deserticola, which inhabits dry highlands along the TMVB.Ecological niche modeling (ENM) for present-day conditions and projections into past scenarios were performed to evaluate the influence of environmental variables on the evolutionary history of the species. Results showed high genetic diversity (h S =0.774) and high genetic structure (R ST =0.75) and the morphological subdivision of populations into two clusters, corresponding to the west/south and east/north sectors of the Q. deserticola geographic distribution. ENM indicated that the potential distribution of the species has remained similar from the late Pleistocene to the present. Seemingly, the phylogeographic structure of the species has been shaped by low seed-mediated gene flow and mostly local migration patterns. In turn, leaf shape is responding to climate differences either through phenotypic plasticity or local adaptation. is a volcanic mountain chain with nearly 8000 volcanic structures, extending about 1200 km west to east through central Mexico, from the Pacific coast to the Gulf of Mexico coast. Furthermore, the TMVB has a large environmental heterogeneity and has experienced important climatic changes from the Pliocene and Pleistocene to the present (Gómez-Tuena et al. 2007; Ferrari et al. 2012). Based on age, orogeny and tectonic features, the TMVB has been divided into four sectors (western, central, eastern and easternmost), each with its own characteristics (Gómez-Tuena et al. 2005; Ferrari et al. 2012). The TMVB has also been considered as a complex biogeographic unit (i. e. it shows a high degree of species endemism and diversity), with two sectors, west and east (Gámez et al. 2012;Torres-Miranda et al. 2013). Four main episodes of volcanic activity of the TMVB have occurred during different periods from the early Miocene to the present, affecting this region asynchronously, first the western and later the eastern sectors (Gómez-Tuena et al. 2005; Gámez et al. 2012; Ferrari et al. 2012).Several studies have found that the physiographic context of the TMVB has been important in the genetic structuring and phenotypic divergence of different species and how climatic and geologic events have modified their distributions in various time periods (Jaramillo-Correa et al. 2008; Gámez et al. 2012;Ruiz-Sánchez and Specht 2013;Torres-Miranda et al. 2013; Mastretta-Yanes et al. 2015; Rodríguez-Gómez and Ornelas . The TMVB has been shown to be a geographic barrier that limits the dispersion of plants and animals tha...
