Material S1 - Evaluating the Significance of Paleophylogeographic Species Distribution Models in Reconstructing Quaternary Range-Shifts of Nearctic Chelonians

Zip file containing Appendices S1 through S7. Appendix S1: Genbank accession numbers of sequences of four mitochondrial genes (COI, control region, cytb, ND4) and three nuclear genes (R35, RAG-1, TB29) used for phylogenetic analyses; Appendix S2: Plots showing the bioclimatic conditions within each species' currently available climate space, its potential niche as well as its realized niche both in terms of species' modern and fossil occurrences; Appendix S3: Fossils of Nearctic chelonians compiled from Holman [61] and supplemented with data obtained through the Paleo Biology Database (available through www.paleodb.org). Negative MESS scores indicate conditions within the species' current realized/potential niche and positive MESS scores indicate bioclimatic conditions outside of the current realized/potential niche; Appendix S4: Videos showing the results of the Maxent and PPGM analyses, i.e. distribution changes through time in comparison to current distributions according to Maxent, non-analogous climate and information on subspecies and phylogenetic lineages; Appendix S5: Comprehensive summary of data on thermal biology of 48 Nearctic chelonian species; Appendix S6: Dated molecular phylogeny for all 59 extant species of Nearctic turtles inferred by Bayesian analyses; Appendix S7: Summary statistics of each 100 Maxent models per species.
