“…Some previous studies (mostly in other regions) have also combined phylogeography with niche modelling to address the impacts of past climate change (e.g., Carstens & Richards, ; Carnaval, Hickerson, Haddad, Rodrigues, & Moritz, ), including some that focused on montane species (Bryson, Murphy, Graham, Lathrop, & Lazcano, ; Gutierrez‐Tapia & Palma, ; Mastretta‐Yanes et al, ) and some that discussed implications for future climate change (Cordellier & Pfenninger, ). Here, we integrate these two approaches (niche modelling, phylogeography) with analyses of distributional, climatic, and physiological data to address the causes of Sky Island distributions and their implications for future climate change.…”
