“…The BQM are home to one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the globe, the campos rupestres (Conceição et al, 2016;Vasconcelos et al, 2020). This phytophisionomy is found scattered primarily above >900 m elevation and is composed by a xerophytic vegetation, dominated by herbaceous and shrubby species well-adapted to harsh conditions, since most of the soils on the campos rupestres vegetation are shallow and well-drained, with an intense solar radiation and a striking daily temperature variation (Giulietti & Pirani, 1987;Zappi et al, 2017). The BQM mountain ecosystem has attracted the attention of generations of scientists interested in unveiling the evolutionary dynamics that generated such an amazing biota, where the geological stability and ancient climatic oscillations on the BQM are considered the preponderant drivers of its high endemism (Antonelli et al, 2010;Barres et al, 2019;Ribeiro et al, 2014, but A prevailing idea in comparative phylogeography is that codistributed organisms under the effect of similar historical events (e.g., past climatic fluctuations) may exhibit a concordance in several scales, from sites within a genetic locus (i.e., to form a monophyletic group within a gene tree) to concordance between genetic patterns of previously described biogeographic regions (i.e., to support historical factors that have contributed to the concordant distribution of genetic lineages; Avise et al, 1987;Gehara et al, 2017;Soltis et al, 2006).…”
