Resumo
Here we studied the demographical history of Caryocar brasiliense (Caryocaraceae), by coupling ecological niche modeling
(ENM) and statistical phylogeography. Analyses were based on the polymorphism of 147 individuals sampled in 12 populations
for the chloroplast genome. C. brasiliense presented low genetic diversity but high population genetic differentiation, which is
not correlated with geographical distances among localities. The most ancient lineage divergence from southern and western
Cerrado boundaries occurred around ~3.3 ± 2.3 Myr BP. The simulation of demographic scenarios showed that the diversity
pattern found so far for C. brasiliense is most likely due to a range retraction during the last glacial maximum (LGM, 21 kyr BP),
leading to multiple refugia. The paleodistribution models and coalescent analyses strongly suggest that the current distribution
of C. brasiliense is wider than during the dry periods of the Quaternary.
