Relationship between the location of Pleistocene refugia and geographic and environmental centrality in a plant-pollinator mutualism from Patagonia

Glacial refugia are habitats where species can persist during climate change, and they are of high conservation value due to their role as hotspots of genetic diversity. Therefore, it is relevant to understand factors that determine the distribution of these refugia across species’ ranges and of their mutualists. According to the CPH, as genetic diversity is highest in the geographic range centre of the species' distribution, it is expected that refugia coincide with this centre, if the geographic and environmental centroids are coupled. We proposed an integrative framework that combines genetic diversity, current and past distribution range, and historical ecological niche to investigate the association between Pleistocene refugia and geographic and environmental centrality in a plant-pollinator mutualism from Patagonia. We identified a clear pattern in which genetic diversity was negatively associated with distance to environmental centroids and positively with distance to geographic ..., , # Relationship between the location of Pleistocene refugia and geographic and environmental centrality in a plant-pollinator mutualism from Patagonia

This dataset includes three types of files.

The **first file type** is an R document that contains all the R code used in the study, including routines
for running the models, performing GLMs and cross-validation, and generating visualizations.

The **second file type** is: Excel spreadsheet that contains the data tables used in the analyses.
These include:

1. Vtp: Values of the 19 bioclimatic variables at the 43 points used to calibrate the model of Calceolaria polyrhiza,
in order to identify and exclude strongly correlated variables.
2. Puntos_calibrar: 43 ocurrence points used to calibrate the current ecological niche model of Ca. polyrhiza.
B: latitude. C: longitude.
3. Puntos_validar: 42 ocurrence points used to validate the current ecological niche model of Ca. polyrhiza.
B: latitude. C: longitude.
4. Div_Ce_cineraria: Ha...,
