... , the only region with sufficient sampling of SNPs per individual to enable historical demographic inference in this species. Shifts in Population Size Are Asynchronous Extending beyond region-specific inferences of population size change within each species, we applied hierarchical demographic models to combine data across regions and species and test for assemblage-wide synchrony in population shifts.

... , we nonetheless find that the demographic processes underscoring those patterns vary across species. This view is supported by tests of synchronous population size shifts that allow for species-specific parameters as well as by plausible models of the distribution of genetic diversity under future carbon emissions.

... As in the procedure for the spatial group-specific demographic syndrome analysis, we performed a PCA on the accepted simulations and plotted the simulated data with the empirical aSFS along the first two PCs to assess if the proposed scenarios could have generated the empirical aSFS. Furthermore, to assess hABC performance using the aSFS, we performed 50 leave-oneout cross-validations for the set of simulations per each empirical aSFS, with each cross-validation involving the extraction of a single simulation to act as a pseudo-observed dataset (POD)

... . Species Distribution Models to Inform Analyses of the Future Distribution of Genetic Diversity To parameterize predictive models of future shifts in the spatial distribution of genomic diversity, we estimated migration rates and maximum carrying capacity at occupied sites from spatial demographic simulations that used friction and carrying-capacity layers derived from SDMs projected into former climates.

... . To project species ranges and genetic diversity under future climates, we used bioclimatic variables estimated from the Hadley Center model for the years 2030, 2050, 2070, and 2080 (HadGEN2-ES)

Spatial Genetic Simulations for the Past To use the empirical data to validate the simulated demographic scenarios, and hence enable estimation of demographic parameters, each forward-in-time spatial demographic simulation was followed by a corresponding backward-in-time genetic simulation.

... For each past time period, the posterior estimates (modes) of ancestral population size, migration rate, and carrying capacity derived from the historical analyses were used to parameterize the simulations.
