Neotropical niche evolution of Otoba trees in the context of global biogeography of the nutmeg family

Abstract: Aim Plant distributions are influenced by species’ ability to colonize new areas via long‐distance dispersal and propensity to adapt to new environments via niche evolution. We use otobas, a clade of ecologically dominant trees found in low‐to mid‐elevation wet forests, as a system to understand the relative importance of these processes within the Neotropics. Location Neotropics and global. Taxon Otoba and entire Myristicaceae. Methods We resolve the first phylogeny of Otoba the Angiosperms353 loci and plasto… Show more

“…Phylogenetic groups of species differ widely in their realised climatic niche. These differences may result from selective changes promoting niche widening or its converse (Aagesen et al 2016, Velasco et al 2018, Mondanaro et al 2020, Frost et al 2022), or be essentially neutral with regards to the fundamental niche (Bonetti & Wiens 2014, Boucher et al 2014, Saupe et al 2019). Whether or not the fundamental niche changes, identifying such differences has a huge impact on our understanding of species diversity patterns (Rolland & Salamin 2016, Olalla‐Tárraga et al 2017, Rolland et al 2018) of the link existing between climatic niche breadth and extinction risk (Wiens et al 2019, Taheri et al 2021) and of how climate change is impacting extinction and will continue to do so (Hanson et al 2020, Trisos et al 2020).…”

“…moves along the niche dimension), or both. Although there is solid recognition that phylogenetic effects must be considered to understand these changes under a proper comparative context (Kellermann et al 2012, Gutiérrez‐Pesquera et al 2016), most researchers just estimate the phylogenetic signal in bioclimatic variables, or rely on standard models of evolution such as BM (Münkemüller et al 2015, Corro et al 2021) or the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process (Velasco et al 2018, Frost et al 2022). Yet, BM resides on assumptions that can be unrealistic for describing climatic niche evolution (Diniz‐Filho et al 2012, Kamilar & Cooper 2013), and even a significant signal does not indicate that the effect of shared ancestry on species' climatic niche is relevant (Freckleton & Jetz 2009, Cooper et al 2011, Münkemüller et al 2015).…”

“…Widely distributed species often share broad similarities in genetic structure across their geographic ranges, reflecting similar demographic responses to climate change and landscape features (Avise, 2009; Hickerson et al., 2010). In lowland Neotropical rain forests, landscape features such as large rivers (Gascon et al., 2000; Naka & Brumfield, 2018; Nazareno et al., 2019), dry forest corridors (Costa, 2003), and mountain ranges (Bemmels et al., 2018; Frost et al., 2022; Serrano et al., 2021) frequently structure species distributions and spatial patterns of genetic variation. Mountain ranges have long been hypothesized to represent especially strong dispersal barriers to lowland rain forest species due to the high degree of specialization to narrow, stable climatic niches exhibited by tropical taxa (Janzen, 1967).…”

“…Mountain ranges have long been hypothesized to represent especially strong dispersal barriers to lowland rain forest species due to the high degree of specialization to narrow, stable climatic niches exhibited by tropical taxa (Janzen, 1967). At phylogenetic scales, the Northern Andean Cordilleras are an important biogeographic barrier to rain forest trees (Frost et al., 2022; Winterton et al., 2014), birds (Cracraft & Prum, 1988), and other vertebrates (Ron, 2000), yet many lowland rain forest tree species are distributed on both sides of the Andes (Bemmels et al., 2018; Dick et al., 2005; Gentry, 1982) in both the Amazon Basin and Central America (here broadly defined to also include the Chocó or the Pacific coastal region of Colombia and Ecuador; Figure 1). Little is known about how such species dispersed across the Andes and whether dispersal has left similar patterns of population genetic structure across multiple taxa.…”
