“…Our results highlighted the presence of niche dissimilarities for each of the genetic clusters found. Previous studies have reported this pattern, in which predicted niches could vary between genetic groups within a species [120,124] since they are usually more environmentally compact and tuned to specific climatic conditions [120]. We observed that the potential distribution range of I. guayusa at the species level and for Cluster 1 was mainly explained by the mean temperature of the wettest quarter (Bio 8) and the precipitation of the driest quarter (Bio 17).…”

Ilex guayusa Loes. is a shrub native to the Neotropics, traditionally consumed as an infusion. Despite its cultural value and extensive use, genetic research remains scarce. This study examined the genetic and clonal diversity of guayusa in three different Ecuadorian Amazon regions using 17 species-specific SSR markers. The results obtained suggest a moderately low degree of genetic diversity (He = 0.396). Among the 88 samples studied, 71 unique multilocus genotypes (MLGs) were identified, demonstrating a high genotypic diversity. A Discriminant Analysis of Principal Components (DAPC) revealed the existence of two genetic clusters. We propose that a model of isolation-by-environment (IBE) could explain the genetic differentiation between these clusters, with the main variables shaping the population’s genetic structure being temperature seasonality (SD × 100) (Bio 4) and isothermality ×100 (Bio 3). Nonetheless, we cannot dismiss the possibility that human activities could also impact the genetic diversity and distribution of this species. This study gives a first glance at the genetic diversity of I. guayusa in the Ecuadorian Amazon. It could assist in developing successful conservation and breeding programs, which could promote the economic growth of local communities and reinforce the value of ancestral knowledge.

“…Still, our inferences are based on small sample size (n < 30), and although we used a robust algorithm capable to deal with small sample size 35 , our findings must be considered with caution 36 . Increasing studies are demonstrating the necessity of considering intraspecific lineages in SDMs, particularly those with unique evolutionary histories 6 , 37 , and predicting the response of lineages to anthropogenic climate change 5 , 21 , 22 , 38 . Our findings revealed that the two lineages of the Kaiser’s newt may act differently in response to climate change and should be considered as separate conservation management units.…”

“…We used Maxent V.3.4.1 60 , a presence-background method for model building, which has a high predictive power even when there is only a small sample of presence points 60 , and has been widely used in spatial ecology (e.g. Martínez‐Freiría et al 6 , Rodríguez-Rodríguez et al 3 , Banerjee et al 5 ).…”

“…Accounting for local adaptations of intraspecific lineages is therefore, important when predicting potential distribution of species, particularly when ‘phylogenetic niche conservatism’ (sensu Harvey and Pagel 4 ) is not assumed (e.g. Banerjee et al 5 and Martínez‐Freiría et al 6 ).…”

“…Ecological niche tests have shown that these lineages occupy similar local habitats within their ancestral niche, but in different climatic conditions 17 . Environmental alterations such as climate change or habitat degradation may affect the distribution of each lineage differently 5 , 21 , 22 and therefore, it is important to advance into conservation assessments that recognise local adaptation of populations 23 .

Species Distribution Models (SDMs) can be used to estimate potential geographic ranges and derive indices to assess species conservation status. However, habitat-specialist species require fine-scale range estimates that reflect resource dependency. Furthermore, local adaptation of intraspecific lineages to distinct environmental conditions across ranges have frequently been neglected in SDMs. Here, we propose a multi-stage SDM approach to estimate the distributional range and potential area of occupancy (pAOO) of Neurergus kaiseri, a spring-dwelling amphibian with two climatically-divergent evolutionary lineages. We integrate both broad-scale climatic variables and fine-resolution environmental data to predict the species distribution while examining the performance of lineage-level versus species-level modelling on the estimated pAOO. Predictions of habitat suitability at the landscape scale differed considerably between evolutionary level models. At the landscape scale, spatial predictions derived from lineage-level models showed low overlap and recognised a larger amount of suitable habitats than species-level model. The variable dependency of lineages was different at the landscape scale, but similar at the local scale. Our results highlight the importance of considering fine-scale resolution approaches, as well as intraspecific genetic structure of taxa to estimate pAOO. The flexible procedure presented here can be used as a guideline for estimating pAOO of other similar species.

Climate suitability analyses based on ecological niche modeling provide a powerful tool for biological control practitioners to assess the likelihood of establishment of different candidate agents prior to their introduction in the field. These same analyses could also be performed to understand why some agents establish more easily than others. The release of three strains of Aphalara itadori (Shinji) (Hemiptera: Pysllidae), each from a different source locality in Japan, for the biological control of invasive knotweed species, Reynoutria spp. Houtt. (Caryophyllales: Polygonaceae), provides an important opportunity to compare the utility of climate suitability analyses for identifying potential climate‐based limitations for successful biological control introductions. Here, we predict climate suitability envelopes for three target species of knotweed in Europe and two target species of knotweed in North America and compare these suitability estimates for each of these species to the source localities of each A. itadori strain. We find that source locality of one strain, the Kyushu strain, has little‐to‐no suitability compared to other locations in Japan based on knotweed records from Europe, supporting an earlier study based on North American Japanese knotweed records. The source locality of a second strain, the Murakami strain, was predicted to have medium‐to‐high suitability based on records of knotweeds from North America. In contrast, European records of Reynoutria × bohemica Chrtek & Chrtková and Reynoutria sachalinensis (F. Schmidt) Nakai predicted no suitability for this locality compared to other locations in Japan, while European records for Reynoutria japonica Houtt. predicted low suitability. The source locality of the final strain, the Hokkaido strain, was predicted as having medium‐to‐high suitability based on knotweed records of all examined species from both North America and Europe.
