Environmental variation across geographic space limits speciesrsquo ranges therefore affecting ecological processes and large‐scale biogeographic patterns (Ghalambor Huey Martin Tewksbury amp
Wang 2006) Because physiological tolerances to abiotic con‐ditions constrain organismal fitness (Navas 2002) it has been suggested that the occurrence of any given species across vari‐ous environments may be associated with local adaptation (Bridle amp Vines 2007 Hohenlohe et al 2010 Huey Gilchrist Carlson

Berrigan amp Serra 2000) Yet experimental studies indicate that physiological function can be highly conserved within species over wide environmental gradients (egCrowley 1985HertzHueyampNevo 1983 John-Alder BarnhartampBennett 1989 PratesampNavas2009PratesAngilletaWilsonNiehausampNavas2013VanDammeBauwensCastillaampVerheyen1989)andthis lackof phenotypic differentiation has been associated with the ho‐mogenizing effects of population gene flow (Bridle amp Vines 2007 Lenormand2002)Itisthereforeuncleartowhichextenttheoc‐currence of species in distinct environments is linked to local ad‐aptation and associated genetic differentiation Uncovering how environmental gradients contribute to the genetic makeup of or‐ganisms while documenting how population structure and history constrain differentiation can shed light on the role of local adap‐tation in the establishment of species in diverse habitats
To examine local adaptation in heterogeneous landscapes anal‐yses of genomendashenvironment associations (GEAA) have becomea central tool (Rellstab Gugerli Eckert Hancock amp Holderegger 2015)GEAAstudies test forcorrelationsbetweenallele frequen‐cies at multiple loci and environmental predictors across a speciesrsquo range(FrichotSchovilleBouchardampFranccedilois2013)andareableto account for neutral patterns of population genetic structure that canmimic signaturesof selection (Rellstabet al 2015)Howeverthese analyses are sensitive to the spatial orientation of historical rangeexpansionsrelativetothatoftheenvironmentalgradientsAsimulationstudyfoundthatGEAAstudiesperformbest(havelowerfalse discovery rates) when the axes of historical expansion and eco‐logicalvariationarealignedinspace(FrichotSchovilleVillemereuilGaggiottiampFranccedilois2015)ThisfindinghasimportantimplicationsforempiricalstudiesFirstitsuggeststhatknowledgeaboutthehis‐tory of occupation of the landscape is crucial to analyses of adap‐tivegenomicdifferentiationonthebasisofGEAASeconditimpliesthat studies of local adaptation will benefit from targeting species whose biogeographic trajectories have led to a spatial and ecological arrangementthatmaximizesGEAAperformance

This investigation asks whether genetic differentiation identified as potentially adaptive is associated with climatic differentiation along the ranges of the lizards Anolis ortonii and Anolis punctatus While these two species belong to anole clades that diverged around 50mya (Prates et al 2017 Prates Rodrigues Melo-Sampaio ampCarnaval2015)ithasbeenshownthattheyunderwentsimilarhis‐toriesofcolonizationoftheAtlanticForestfromAmazonia(PratesRiveraetal2016PratesXueetal2016)Theselizardsarewellsuited for studies of adaptation Natural history data indicate that SouthAmericanforestanolesexhibitlowbodytemperatureswhenactive and perform little to no behavioral thermoregulation (Vitt Avila-Pires Espoacutesito Sartorius amp Zani 2003 Vitt Avila-PiresZani Sartorius amp Espoacutesito 2003 Vitt Cristina Avila-Pires Zaniamp Espoacutesito 2002 Vitt Sartorius Avila-Pires amp Espoacutesito 2001)mdashwhich points to a role of genetically determined physiological traits in shaping ecological tolerances (eg Navas 2002)

22emsp|emspInferring population genetic structure
To approximate the number of populations in A ortonii and A punc‐tatus we estimated the number of genetic clusters (k) within each species separately using sNMF v 12 (Sparse Nonnegative Matrix Factorization Frichot Mathieu Trouillon Bouchard amp Franccedilois2014) We tested k=1ndash10 with 100 replicates for each k The runwith the lowest entropy value estimated bymasking 5 ofthe samples was considered to identify the best k (Frichotetal2014)Toexamine the robustnessof sNMF to the regularizationparameter (a) we ran preliminary analyses with a=110100and1000 the best entropy scores were obtained with a=100Upto10missingdatawereallowed(ieeachDNAsitewaspresentinat least90ofsampled individuals)Theresultingdatasetswerecomposed of 2580 unlinked SNPs for A ortonii and 1807 for A punctatus
To further characterize population genetic clustering we per‐formedaprincipalcomponentanalysis(PCA)basedontheSNPdatausing the pca function of the R package LEA v 2 (Landscape and Ecological AssociationFrichotampFranccedilois2015)
23emsp|emspInferring population trees
To obtain a population tree for the estimation of gene flow under a historical demographic framework (see below) we inferred phyloge‐netic relationships between the genetic clusters (thereafter popula‐tions)identifiedbysNMFPhylogeneticanalyseswereperformedforA punctatus only for which three populations were recovered in the
case of A ortonii where only two populations were found based on the genetic data (see Section ) they were treated as sister to each other in downstream analyses
To inform historical demographic parameter estimation (see below) a population tree was inferred for A punctatususingSNAPP(SNP and AFLP Package for Phylogenetic Analysis Bryant Bouckaert Felsenstein Rosenberg amp RoyChoudhury 2012) as implementedinBEASTv248 (Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis by Sampling Trees Bouckaert et al 2014) A gamma-distributed prior (given by pa‐rameters shape α and scale ρ) was applied for the θparameter(=4Neμ where Ne corresponds to the effective population size and μ to the per‐generation mutation rate) using α=1 and ρ=005(with mean=005) A gamma prior with α=2 and ρ=100 (withmean=200)wassettotherateoftheYulediversificationprocess(λ) given an expected tree height (τ=Tμ where T corresponds to the totaltreetimeinnumberofgenerations)of~0004substitutionspersite based on recent phylogeographic study that included A punc‐tatus (Prates Rivera et al 2016) To help define λ prior ranges we used the python script Pyule (available at httpsgithubcomjoaks1pyule) Default settings were implemented for the mutation param‐etersTreerootingfollowedPratesXueetal(2016)TohelpdefinepriordistributionsimplementedinSNAPPandG-PhoCS(seebelow)we used the qgamma dgamma and plot functions in R v 333 (R Core Team 2018)

24emsp|emspEstimating historical demographic parameters
To estimate historical demographic parameters such as gene flow we used G‐PhoCS v 13 (Generalized Phylogenetic Coalescent Sampler Gronau Hubisz Gulko Danko amp Siepel 2011) which uses the entire nucleotidesequencesofloci(asopposedtoSNPsonly)Populationsof A ortonii and A punctatus were defined as the populations in‐ferredthroughsNMFhistoricalrelationshipsbetweenpopulationswere defined based on SNAPP results forA punctatus while the two populations of A ortonii were treated as sister to one another To assess historical population gene flow we included bidirectional migration bands for every population pair (ie one migration band in each direction)
In G‐PhoCS analyses we applied gamma distributions (given by parameters shape α and rate β) for the θ and τ priors setting α=1and β=20(withmean=005)Thegammapriorforeachmigrationband m(=Mμ where M corresponds to the proportion of individuals

We performed G‐PhoCS analyses for each species separately implementingaMarkovChainMonteCarloof400000generationsand sampling every 100 generations The stationarity of each run and the posterior distribution of model parameters were assessed asdescribedforSNAPPanalysesDuetocomputationalconstraintsG‐PhoCS analyses used 2000 randomly selected loci while allowing for no more than 10 missing data

AsenvironmentalpredictorsinGEAAweusedbioclimaticvariablesfrom the WorldClim database (Hijmans Cameron Parra Jones amp Jarvis2005) thatdescribespatialpatternsof temperatureandpre‐cipitation variation We limited our analysis to environmental variables that are easily interpretable and that showed clear geographic variation across the distribution of our study anoles annual mean temperature maximum temperature of the warmest month mean temperature of thewarmestquartermeantemperatureofthecoldestquarterannualprecipitation precipitation of the wettest month and precipitation of thewettestquarterValueswereextractedfromthecollectionsiteofeachlizardsampleusingQGISv21815(availableathttpsgithubcomqgisQGIS) Because temperature and precipitation variableswere often correlated (pairwise Pearson correlation coefficients gt07) wefollowedbestpracticesforGEAAandimplementedaPCAonallvariablesusingthefirstprincipalcomponentasapredictorinGEAA(Frichotetal2013)PCAwasappliedusingtheprcomp function in R
To visualize and compare environmental space occupancy across the range of A ortonii and A punctatus we used plots of the climatic PC1 against latitude based on sites sampled for genetic data To bet‐ter characterize the climatic spaces occupied by these two species we also compiled a broader dataset that includes georeferenced museum specimenswithatotalof89and144uniquerecordsforA ortonii and A punctatus respectively (Supporting Information Table S2)
26emsp|emspPerforming genomendashenvironment association analyses
To test for associations between environmental predictors and allele frequencies we used LFMM (Latent Factor Mixed Linear Models Frichot et al 2013) LFMM jointlymodels the effects of
environmental variables and neutral genetic structure on allele fre‐quencies incorporatingpopulationstructure in the formofunob‐served(latent)factorsLFMMhaslowratesoffalsepositivesandisrobust to the effects of isolation‐by‐distance and a variety of sam‐pling designs and underlying demographic histories (Rellstab et al 2015) To define the number of latent factors used in the LFMManalyses we explored values around the best number of genetic clusters (k) inferred by sNMF as recommended by Frichot et al(2013) Specifically we performed preliminary runs incorporating one to six latent factors Two and five latent factors provided bet‐ter control of the effects of neutral genetic structure in A ortonii and A punctatus respectively (see below) and were used in final analyses
To ensure that false discoveries (ie spurious associations be‐tweenallele frequencies andenvironmentalpredictors)wereade‐quatelycontrolledforwecorrectedassociationp‐values based on empirical genomic inflation factors (λ) These factors are used to modifythebaselinenullhypothesisinGEAAwiththegoaloflimit‐ing inflation related to population structure and other confounding factors(FranccediloisMartinsCayeampSchoville2016)Toselectλ we inspected histograms of corrected p‐values (Supporting Information FigureS1)toensurethattheyexhibitedauniformdistributionoverthe interval [01] (as expected under the null hypothesis of selective neutrality for most loci) with a peak close to 0 (which corresponds topotentiallyselectedlociseeFranccediloisetal2016)Specificallyweimplemented λ=15and045forA ortonii and A punctatus respec‐tivelyAlistofcandidateSNPswasgeneratedusingtheBenjaminindashHochberg algorithm (BenjaminiampHochberg 1995) by assuming amaximum false discovery rate of 10minus5

Based on genomewide data of A ortonii and A punctatus two widespreadSouthAmericananole lizard specieswe inferdistinctgeneticpopulations inAmazonia and theAtlanticForest suggest‐ing that separation of these forests following a period of contact has favoredgeneticdivergence (Figure1) Inbothspecieshistori‐cal demographic analyses indicate large effective population sizes mid‐Pleistocene colonizations and post‐divergence population gene flow (Figure 2) Lastly we find evidence of associations betweenenvironmental gradients and allele frequency patterns inA punc‐tatus but not in A ortonii (Table 1) which is consistent with local adaptation in A punctatus only Analyses of environmental spaceoccupancy suggest that the two species experience largely similar climatesinAmazoniaandthenorthernAtlanticForestyetA punc‐tatus occupies cooler and less humid localities that are not occupied by A ortoniiinthesouthernAtlanticForest(Figure3)

Historical relationships and coalescent times between AmazonianandAtlanticForestpopulationsofbothA ortonii and A punctatus
support the hypothesis that a forest corridor connected these two major forest blocks in the mid‐Pleistocene These findings corrobo‐rate the results of previous analyses based on much smaller genetic datasetsforthesespecies(Pratesetal2015PratesRiveraetal2016) Moreover they agree with paleontological geochemical and palynological records supporting a history of pulses of increased pre‐cipitationinSouthAmericaduringtheQuaternaryWetterclimateshave been implicated in periodic forest expansions in present‐day northeastern Brazil leading to connections and species exchange betweenAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest(egChengetal2013deOliveiraBarretoampSuguio1999deVivoampCarmignotto2004)
Recurrent forest corridors may have led to periodic re‐establish‐mentofgeneflowfollowingthecolonizationofnewregionsApre‐vious test of this idea based on a multi‐locus dataset from A ortonii and A punctatus was inconclusive presumably due to limited signal in the genetic data available (Prates Rivera et al 2016) Here on the basis thousands of restriction site‐associated markers we found evi‐dence of historical gene flow across major forest blocks The genetic clusteringanalysesfoundadmixedindividuals ineasternAmazoniaandnorthernsitesintheAtlanticForest(Figure1ab)Moreovertheestimation of historical demographic parameters under a coalescent framework recovered population gene flow across forests in both anolespecies(Figure2)Theseresultsareconsistentwiththeideaofrecurrent forest expansions that favored post‐divergence migration across regions It is currently unclear however whether this signa‐ture of historical gene flow resulted from one or multiple forest con‐nections over time
Genetic clustering analyses of A ortonii and A punctatus found thatAtlanticForestsamplescomposeadistinctgeneticgroupfromAmazoniansamplesinbothspeciespointingtoanimportantroleofforest separation in promoting population genetic divergence The idea of expansion of semi‐arid habitats in northeastern Brazil during the Quaternary causing fragmentation of forest habitats is sup‐ported by genetic studies of species from these dry regions (Gehara etal2017Thomeacuteetal2016)Formerexpansionsofopenanddryhabitats may have favored speciation and further diversification of forest organisms as supported by a pattern of sister relationships betweenspeciesorcladesthatoccurinAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest as seen in birds snakes and mammals (eg Costa 2003Batalha-Filhoet al2013Dal-VechioPratesGrazziotinZaherampRodrigues 2018)

Similar to this study other investigations found differences in thefrequencyofalleles thatunderlieecologically relevantphysio‐logical processes between populations that inhabit contrasting hab‐itats (egYoderetal2014Benestanetal2016DennenmoserVamosiNolteampRogers2017GuoLuLiaoampMerilauml2016)Afewof these studies involved anole lizards For instance in theNorthAmericanA carolinensis colonization of colder temperate regions from a tropical Caribbean source has been linked to adaptive shifts in several genes including loci that are involved with develop‐ment energy metabolism and immune response (Campbell‐Staton EdwardsampLosos2016)Additionallyevidenceofthermaladapta‐tion along an altitudinal gradient has been found in Anolis cybotes from Hispaniola involving genes that play a role in bone formation and development lipid metabolism and regulation of blood pressure (Rodriacuteguez et al 2017) Similar to the case of A punctatus these examples support that adaptation to cooler climates has played an essential role in range expansions across anole taxa including mainland and Caribbean forms that span altitudinal and latitudinal gradients It is currently unclear however whether potentially ben‐eficial polymorphisms preceded the colonization of new geographic regions by these species

44emsp|emspDistinct GEAA patterns among species
Population structure and history can constrain local adaptation (BridleampVines2007Lenormand2002)yetouranalysessuggestthat these factors do not account for different signatures of adapta‐tion between the two anole species G‐PhoCS analyses recovered higher gene flow in A punctatus than in A ortonii as well as older colonizationoftheAtlanticForest inA ortonii than in A punctatus (Figure2)Lowerlevelsofgeneflowandearliercolonizationmighthave favored local adaptation in A ortoniihoweverGEAAfoundal‐lelefrequencypatternsassociatedwithclimaticgradientsinA punc‐tatus onlyAs a result constraints related to population structureandhistorydonotseemsufficienttoexplaindiscrepantGEAAre‐sults between the two species

This investigation illustrates how studies of adaptation on the basis of GEAA can benefit from knowledge about the history oflandscape occupation by the species under investigation Data on population structure and history can provide insight about how gene flow and natural selection interact and shape population genetic dif‐ferentiation Moreover information about the direction and routes of colonization of new habitats can support spatial sampling design help to characterize landscape gradients and support the formula‐tion of hypotheses about how organisms have responded to envi‐ronmental variation in space

Berrigan amp Serra 2000) Yet experimental studies indicate that physiological function can be highly conserved within species over wide environmental gradients (egCrowley 1985HertzHueyampNevo 1983 John-Alder BarnhartampBennett 1989 PratesampNavas2009PratesAngilletaWilsonNiehausampNavas2013VanDammeBauwensCastillaampVerheyen1989)andthis lackof phenotypic differentiation has been associated with the ho‐mogenizing effects of population gene flow (Bridle amp Vines 2007 Lenormand2002)Itisthereforeuncleartowhichextenttheoc‐currence of species in distinct environments is linked to local ad‐aptation and associated genetic differentiation Uncovering how environmental gradients contribute to the genetic makeup of or‐ganisms while documenting how population structure and history constrain differentiation can shed light on the role of local adap‐tation in the establishment of species in diverse habitats
To examine local adaptation in heterogeneous landscapes anal‐yses of genomendashenvironment associations (GEAA) have becomea central tool (Rellstab Gugerli Eckert Hancock amp Holderegger 2015)GEAAstudies test forcorrelationsbetweenallele frequen‐cies at multiple loci and environmental predictors across a speciesrsquo range(FrichotSchovilleBouchardampFranccedilois2013)andareableto account for neutral patterns of population genetic structure that canmimic signaturesof selection (Rellstabet al 2015)Howeverthese analyses are sensitive to the spatial orientation of historical rangeexpansionsrelativetothatoftheenvironmentalgradientsAsimulationstudyfoundthatGEAAstudiesperformbest(havelowerfalse discovery rates) when the axes of historical expansion and eco‐logicalvariationarealignedinspace(FrichotSchovilleVillemereuilGaggiottiampFranccedilois2015)ThisfindinghasimportantimplicationsforempiricalstudiesFirstitsuggeststhatknowledgeaboutthehis‐tory of occupation of the landscape is crucial to analyses of adap‐tivegenomicdifferentiationonthebasisofGEAASeconditimpliesthat studies of local adaptation will benefit from targeting species whose biogeographic trajectories have led to a spatial and ecological arrangementthatmaximizesGEAAperformance

This investigation asks whether genetic differentiation identified as potentially adaptive is associated with climatic differentiation along the ranges of the lizards Anolis ortonii and Anolis punctatus While these two species belong to anole clades that diverged around 50mya (Prates et al 2017 Prates Rodrigues Melo-Sampaio ampCarnaval2015)ithasbeenshownthattheyunderwentsimilarhis‐toriesofcolonizationoftheAtlanticForestfromAmazonia(PratesRiveraetal2016PratesXueetal2016)Theselizardsarewellsuited for studies of adaptation Natural history data indicate that SouthAmericanforestanolesexhibitlowbodytemperatureswhenactive and perform little to no behavioral thermoregulation (Vitt Avila-Pires Espoacutesito Sartorius amp Zani 2003 Vitt Avila-PiresZani Sartorius amp Espoacutesito 2003 Vitt Cristina Avila-Pires Zaniamp Espoacutesito 2002 Vitt Sartorius Avila-Pires amp Espoacutesito 2001)mdashwhich points to a role of genetically determined physiological traits in shaping ecological tolerances (eg Navas 2002)

22emsp|emspInferring population genetic structure
To approximate the number of populations in A ortonii and A punc‐tatus we estimated the number of genetic clusters (k) within each species separately using sNMF v 12 (Sparse Nonnegative Matrix Factorization Frichot Mathieu Trouillon Bouchard amp Franccedilois2014) We tested k=1ndash10 with 100 replicates for each k The runwith the lowest entropy value estimated bymasking 5 ofthe samples was considered to identify the best k (Frichotetal2014)Toexamine the robustnessof sNMF to the regularizationparameter (a) we ran preliminary analyses with a=110100and1000 the best entropy scores were obtained with a=100Upto10missingdatawereallowed(ieeachDNAsitewaspresentinat least90ofsampled individuals)Theresultingdatasetswerecomposed of 2580 unlinked SNPs for A ortonii and 1807 for A punctatus
To further characterize population genetic clustering we per‐formedaprincipalcomponentanalysis(PCA)basedontheSNPdatausing the pca function of the R package LEA v 2 (Landscape and Ecological AssociationFrichotampFranccedilois2015)

To obtain a population tree for the estimation of gene flow under a historical demographic framework (see below) we inferred phyloge‐netic relationships between the genetic clusters (thereafter popula‐tions)identifiedbysNMFPhylogeneticanalyseswereperformedforA punctatus only for which three populations were recovered in the
case of A ortonii where only two populations were found based on the genetic data (see Section ) they were treated as sister to each other in downstream analyses
To inform historical demographic parameter estimation (see below) a population tree was inferred for A punctatususingSNAPP(SNP and AFLP Package for Phylogenetic Analysis Bryant Bouckaert Felsenstein Rosenberg amp RoyChoudhury 2012) as implementedinBEASTv248 (Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis by Sampling Trees Bouckaert et al 2014) A gamma-distributed prior (given by pa‐rameters shape α and scale ρ) was applied for the θparameter(=4Neμ where Ne corresponds to the effective population size and μ to the per‐generation mutation rate) using α=1 and ρ=005(with mean=005) A gamma prior with α=2 and ρ=100 (withmean=200)wassettotherateoftheYulediversificationprocess(λ) given an expected tree height (τ=Tμ where T corresponds to the totaltreetimeinnumberofgenerations)of~0004substitutionspersite based on recent phylogeographic study that included A punc‐tatus (Prates Rivera et al 2016) To help define λ prior ranges we used the python script Pyule (available at httpsgithubcomjoaks1pyule) Default settings were implemented for the mutation param‐etersTreerootingfollowedPratesXueetal(2016)TohelpdefinepriordistributionsimplementedinSNAPPandG-PhoCS(seebelow)we used the qgamma dgamma and plot functions in R v 333 (R Core Team 2018)

In G‐PhoCS analyses we applied gamma distributions (given by parameters shape α and rate β) for the θ and τ priors setting α=1and β=20(withmean=005)Thegammapriorforeachmigrationband m(=Mμ where M corresponds to the proportion of individuals

We performed G‐PhoCS analyses for each species separately implementingaMarkovChainMonteCarloof400000generationsand sampling every 100 generations The stationarity of each run and the posterior distribution of model parameters were assessed asdescribedforSNAPPanalysesDuetocomputationalconstraintsG‐PhoCS analyses used 2000 randomly selected loci while allowing for no more than 10 missing data

26emsp|emspPerforming genomendashenvironment association analyses
To test for associations between environmental predictors and allele frequencies we used LFMM (Latent Factor Mixed Linear Models Frichot et al 2013) LFMM jointlymodels the effects of

Based on genomewide data of A ortonii and A punctatus two widespreadSouthAmericananole lizard specieswe inferdistinctgeneticpopulations inAmazonia and theAtlanticForest suggest‐ing that separation of these forests following a period of contact has favoredgeneticdivergence (Figure1) Inbothspecieshistori‐cal demographic analyses indicate large effective population sizes mid‐Pleistocene colonizations and post‐divergence population gene flow (Figure 2) Lastly we find evidence of associations betweenenvironmental gradients and allele frequency patterns inA punc‐tatus but not in A ortonii (Table 1) which is consistent with local adaptation in A punctatus only Analyses of environmental spaceoccupancy suggest that the two species experience largely similar climatesinAmazoniaandthenorthernAtlanticForestyetA punc‐tatus occupies cooler and less humid localities that are not occupied by A ortoniiinthesouthernAtlanticForest(Figure3)

Historical relationships and coalescent times between AmazonianandAtlanticForestpopulationsofbothA ortonii and A punctatus
support the hypothesis that a forest corridor connected these two major forest blocks in the mid‐Pleistocene These findings corrobo‐rate the results of previous analyses based on much smaller genetic datasetsforthesespecies(Pratesetal2015PratesRiveraetal2016) Moreover they agree with paleontological geochemical and palynological records supporting a history of pulses of increased pre‐cipitationinSouthAmericaduringtheQuaternaryWetterclimateshave been implicated in periodic forest expansions in present‐day northeastern Brazil leading to connections and species exchange betweenAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest(egChengetal2013deOliveiraBarretoampSuguio1999deVivoampCarmignotto2004)
Recurrent forest corridors may have led to periodic re‐establish‐mentofgeneflowfollowingthecolonizationofnewregionsApre‐vious test of this idea based on a multi‐locus dataset from A ortonii and A punctatus was inconclusive presumably due to limited signal in the genetic data available (Prates Rivera et al 2016) Here on the basis thousands of restriction site‐associated markers we found evi‐dence of historical gene flow across major forest blocks The genetic clusteringanalysesfoundadmixedindividuals ineasternAmazoniaandnorthernsitesintheAtlanticForest(Figure1ab)Moreovertheestimation of historical demographic parameters under a coalescent framework recovered population gene flow across forests in both anolespecies(Figure2)Theseresultsareconsistentwiththeideaofrecurrent forest expansions that favored post‐divergence migration across regions It is currently unclear however whether this signa‐ture of historical gene flow resulted from one or multiple forest con‐nections over time
Genetic clustering analyses of A ortonii and A punctatus found thatAtlanticForestsamplescomposeadistinctgeneticgroupfromAmazoniansamplesinbothspeciespointingtoanimportantroleofforest separation in promoting population genetic divergence The idea of expansion of semi‐arid habitats in northeastern Brazil during the Quaternary causing fragmentation of forest habitats is sup‐ported by genetic studies of species from these dry regions (Gehara etal2017Thomeacuteetal2016)Formerexpansionsofopenanddryhabitats may have favored speciation and further diversification of forest organisms as supported by a pattern of sister relationships betweenspeciesorcladesthatoccurinAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest as seen in birds snakes and mammals (eg Costa 2003Batalha-Filhoet al2013Dal-VechioPratesGrazziotinZaherampRodrigues 2018)

Similar to this study other investigations found differences in thefrequencyofalleles thatunderlieecologically relevantphysio‐logical processes between populations that inhabit contrasting hab‐itats (egYoderetal2014Benestanetal2016DennenmoserVamosiNolteampRogers2017GuoLuLiaoampMerilauml2016)Afewof these studies involved anole lizards For instance in theNorthAmericanA carolinensis colonization of colder temperate regions from a tropical Caribbean source has been linked to adaptive shifts in several genes including loci that are involved with develop‐ment energy metabolism and immune response (Campbell‐Staton EdwardsampLosos2016)Additionallyevidenceofthermaladapta‐tion along an altitudinal gradient has been found in Anolis cybotes from Hispaniola involving genes that play a role in bone formation and development lipid metabolism and regulation of blood pressure (Rodriacuteguez et al 2017) Similar to the case of A punctatus these examples support that adaptation to cooler climates has played an essential role in range expansions across anole taxa including mainland and Caribbean forms that span altitudinal and latitudinal gradients It is currently unclear however whether potentially ben‐eficial polymorphisms preceded the colonization of new geographic regions by these species

44emsp|emspDistinct GEAA patterns among species
Population structure and history can constrain local adaptation (BridleampVines2007Lenormand2002)yetouranalysessuggestthat these factors do not account for different signatures of adapta‐tion between the two anole species G‐PhoCS analyses recovered higher gene flow in A punctatus than in A ortonii as well as older colonizationoftheAtlanticForest inA ortonii than in A punctatus (Figure2)Lowerlevelsofgeneflowandearliercolonizationmighthave favored local adaptation in A ortoniihoweverGEAAfoundal‐lelefrequencypatternsassociatedwithclimaticgradientsinA punc‐tatus onlyAs a result constraints related to population structureandhistorydonotseemsufficienttoexplaindiscrepantGEAAre‐sults between the two species

This investigation illustrates how studies of adaptation on the basis of GEAA can benefit from knowledge about the history oflandscape occupation by the species under investigation Data on population structure and history can provide insight about how gene flow and natural selection interact and shape population genetic dif‐ferentiation Moreover information about the direction and routes of colonization of new habitats can support spatial sampling design help to characterize landscape gradients and support the formula‐tion of hypotheses about how organisms have responded to envi‐ronmental variation in space

22emsp|emspInferring population genetic structure
To approximate the number of populations in A ortonii and A punc‐tatus we estimated the number of genetic clusters (k) within each species separately using sNMF v 12 (Sparse Nonnegative Matrix Factorization Frichot Mathieu Trouillon Bouchard amp Franccedilois2014) We tested k=1ndash10 with 100 replicates for each k The runwith the lowest entropy value estimated bymasking 5 ofthe samples was considered to identify the best k (Frichotetal2014)Toexamine the robustnessof sNMF to the regularizationparameter (a) we ran preliminary analyses with a=110100and1000 the best entropy scores were obtained with a=100Upto10missingdatawereallowed(ieeachDNAsitewaspresentinat least90ofsampled individuals)Theresultingdatasetswerecomposed of 2580 unlinked SNPs for A ortonii and 1807 for A punctatus
To further characterize population genetic clustering we per‐formedaprincipalcomponentanalysis(PCA)basedontheSNPdatausing the pca function of the R package LEA v 2 (Landscape and Ecological AssociationFrichotampFranccedilois2015)
23emsp|emspInferring population trees
To obtain a population tree for the estimation of gene flow under a historical demographic framework (see below) we inferred phyloge‐netic relationships between the genetic clusters (thereafter popula‐tions)identifiedbysNMFPhylogeneticanalyseswereperformedforA punctatus only for which three populations were recovered in the
case of A ortonii where only two populations were found based on the genetic data (see Section ) they were treated as sister to each other in downstream analyses
To inform historical demographic parameter estimation (see below) a population tree was inferred for A punctatususingSNAPP(SNP and AFLP Package for Phylogenetic Analysis Bryant Bouckaert Felsenstein Rosenberg amp RoyChoudhury 2012) as implementedinBEASTv248 (Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis by Sampling Trees Bouckaert et al 2014) A gamma-distributed prior (given by pa‐rameters shape α and scale ρ) was applied for the θparameter(=4Neμ where Ne corresponds to the effective population size and μ to the per‐generation mutation rate) using α=1 and ρ=005(with mean=005) A gamma prior with α=2 and ρ=100 (withmean=200)wassettotherateoftheYulediversificationprocess(λ) given an expected tree height (τ=Tμ where T corresponds to the totaltreetimeinnumberofgenerations)of~0004substitutionspersite based on recent phylogeographic study that included A punc‐tatus (Prates Rivera et al 2016) To help define λ prior ranges we used the python script Pyule (available at httpsgithubcomjoaks1pyule) Default settings were implemented for the mutation param‐etersTreerootingfollowedPratesXueetal(2016)TohelpdefinepriordistributionsimplementedinSNAPPandG-PhoCS(seebelow)we used the qgamma dgamma and plot functions in R v 333 (R Core Team 2018)

24emsp|emspEstimating historical demographic parameters
To estimate historical demographic parameters such as gene flow we used G‐PhoCS v 13 (Generalized Phylogenetic Coalescent Sampler Gronau Hubisz Gulko Danko amp Siepel 2011) which uses the entire nucleotidesequencesofloci(asopposedtoSNPsonly)Populationsof A ortonii and A punctatus were defined as the populations in‐ferredthroughsNMFhistoricalrelationshipsbetweenpopulationswere defined based on SNAPP results forA punctatus while the two populations of A ortonii were treated as sister to one another To assess historical population gene flow we included bidirectional migration bands for every population pair (ie one migration band in each direction)
In G‐PhoCS analyses we applied gamma distributions (given by parameters shape α and rate β) for the θ and τ priors setting α=1and β=20(withmean=005)Thegammapriorforeachmigrationband m(=Mμ where M corresponds to the proportion of individuals

We performed G‐PhoCS analyses for each species separately implementingaMarkovChainMonteCarloof400000generationsand sampling every 100 generations The stationarity of each run and the posterior distribution of model parameters were assessed asdescribedforSNAPPanalysesDuetocomputationalconstraintsG‐PhoCS analyses used 2000 randomly selected loci while allowing for no more than 10 missing data

To visualize and compare environmental space occupancy across the range of A ortonii and A punctatus we used plots of the climatic PC1 against latitude based on sites sampled for genetic data To bet‐ter characterize the climatic spaces occupied by these two species we also compiled a broader dataset that includes georeferenced museum specimenswithatotalof89and144uniquerecordsforA ortonii and A punctatus respectively (Supporting Information Table S2)
26emsp|emspPerforming genomendashenvironment association analyses
To test for associations between environmental predictors and allele frequencies we used LFMM (Latent Factor Mixed Linear Models Frichot et al 2013) LFMM jointlymodels the effects of

support the hypothesis that a forest corridor connected these two major forest blocks in the mid‐Pleistocene These findings corrobo‐rate the results of previous analyses based on much smaller genetic datasetsforthesespecies(Pratesetal2015PratesRiveraetal2016) Moreover they agree with paleontological geochemical and palynological records supporting a history of pulses of increased pre‐cipitationinSouthAmericaduringtheQuaternaryWetterclimateshave been implicated in periodic forest expansions in present‐day northeastern Brazil leading to connections and species exchange betweenAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest(egChengetal2013deOliveiraBarretoampSuguio1999deVivoampCarmignotto2004)
Recurrent forest corridors may have led to periodic re‐establish‐mentofgeneflowfollowingthecolonizationofnewregionsApre‐vious test of this idea based on a multi‐locus dataset from A ortonii and A punctatus was inconclusive presumably due to limited signal in the genetic data available (Prates Rivera et al 2016) Here on the basis thousands of restriction site‐associated markers we found evi‐dence of historical gene flow across major forest blocks The genetic clusteringanalysesfoundadmixedindividuals ineasternAmazoniaandnorthernsitesintheAtlanticForest(Figure1ab)Moreovertheestimation of historical demographic parameters under a coalescent framework recovered population gene flow across forests in both anolespecies(Figure2)Theseresultsareconsistentwiththeideaofrecurrent forest expansions that favored post‐divergence migration across regions It is currently unclear however whether this signa‐ture of historical gene flow resulted from one or multiple forest con‐nections over time
Genetic clustering analyses of A ortonii and A punctatus found thatAtlanticForestsamplescomposeadistinctgeneticgroupfromAmazoniansamplesinbothspeciespointingtoanimportantroleofforest separation in promoting population genetic divergence The idea of expansion of semi‐arid habitats in northeastern Brazil during the Quaternary causing fragmentation of forest habitats is sup‐ported by genetic studies of species from these dry regions (Gehara etal2017Thomeacuteetal2016)Formerexpansionsofopenanddryhabitats may have favored speciation and further diversification of forest organisms as supported by a pattern of sister relationships betweenspeciesorcladesthatoccurinAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest as seen in birds snakes and mammals (eg Costa 2003Batalha-Filhoet al2013Dal-VechioPratesGrazziotinZaherampRodrigues 2018)

Similar to this study other investigations found differences in thefrequencyofalleles thatunderlieecologically relevantphysio‐logical processes between populations that inhabit contrasting hab‐itats (egYoderetal2014Benestanetal2016DennenmoserVamosiNolteampRogers2017GuoLuLiaoampMerilauml2016)Afewof these studies involved anole lizards For instance in theNorthAmericanA carolinensis colonization of colder temperate regions from a tropical Caribbean source has been linked to adaptive shifts in several genes including loci that are involved with develop‐ment energy metabolism and immune response (Campbell‐Staton EdwardsampLosos2016)Additionallyevidenceofthermaladapta‐tion along an altitudinal gradient has been found in Anolis cybotes from Hispaniola involving genes that play a role in bone formation and development lipid metabolism and regulation of blood pressure (Rodriacuteguez et al 2017) Similar to the case of A punctatus these examples support that adaptation to cooler climates has played an essential role in range expansions across anole taxa including mainland and Caribbean forms that span altitudinal and latitudinal gradients It is currently unclear however whether potentially ben‐eficial polymorphisms preceded the colonization of new geographic regions by these species

44emsp|emspDistinct GEAA patterns among species
Population structure and history can constrain local adaptation (BridleampVines2007Lenormand2002)yetouranalysessuggestthat these factors do not account for different signatures of adapta‐tion between the two anole species G‐PhoCS analyses recovered higher gene flow in A punctatus than in A ortonii as well as older colonizationoftheAtlanticForest inA ortonii than in A punctatus (Figure2)Lowerlevelsofgeneflowandearliercolonizationmighthave favored local adaptation in A ortoniihoweverGEAAfoundal‐lelefrequencypatternsassociatedwithclimaticgradientsinA punc‐tatus onlyAs a result constraints related to population structureandhistorydonotseemsufficienttoexplaindiscrepantGEAAre‐sults between the two species

This investigation illustrates how studies of adaptation on the basis of GEAA can benefit from knowledge about the history oflandscape occupation by the species under investigation Data on population structure and history can provide insight about how gene flow and natural selection interact and shape population genetic dif‐ferentiation Moreover information about the direction and routes of colonization of new habitats can support spatial sampling design help to characterize landscape gradients and support the formula‐tion of hypotheses about how organisms have responded to envi‐ronmental variation in space

To test for associations between environmental predictors and allele frequencies we used LFMM (Latent Factor Mixed Linear Models Frichot et al 2013) LFMM jointlymodels the effects of

Based on genomewide data of A ortonii and A punctatus two widespreadSouthAmericananole lizard specieswe inferdistinctgeneticpopulations inAmazonia and theAtlanticForest suggest‐ing that separation of these forests following a period of contact has favoredgeneticdivergence (Figure1) Inbothspecieshistori‐cal demographic analyses indicate large effective population sizes mid‐Pleistocene colonizations and post‐divergence population gene flow (Figure 2) Lastly we find evidence of associations betweenenvironmental gradients and allele frequency patterns inA punc‐tatus but not in A ortonii (Table 1) which is consistent with local adaptation in A punctatus only Analyses of environmental spaceoccupancy suggest that the two species experience largely similar climatesinAmazoniaandthenorthernAtlanticForestyetA punc‐tatus occupies cooler and less humid localities that are not occupied by A ortoniiinthesouthernAtlanticForest(Figure3)
41emsp|emspPopulation history of South American forest anoles
Historical relationships and coalescent times between AmazonianandAtlanticForestpopulationsofbothA ortonii and A punctatus
support the hypothesis that a forest corridor connected these two major forest blocks in the mid‐Pleistocene These findings corrobo‐rate the results of previous analyses based on much smaller genetic datasetsforthesespecies(Pratesetal2015PratesRiveraetal2016) Moreover they agree with paleontological geochemical and palynological records supporting a history of pulses of increased pre‐cipitationinSouthAmericaduringtheQuaternaryWetterclimateshave been implicated in periodic forest expansions in present‐day northeastern Brazil leading to connections and species exchange betweenAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest(egChengetal2013deOliveiraBarretoampSuguio1999deVivoampCarmignotto2004)
Recurrent forest corridors may have led to periodic re‐establish‐mentofgeneflowfollowingthecolonizationofnewregionsApre‐vious test of this idea based on a multi‐locus dataset from A ortonii and A punctatus was inconclusive presumably due to limited signal in the genetic data available (Prates Rivera et al 2016) Here on the basis thousands of restriction site‐associated markers we found evi‐dence of historical gene flow across major forest blocks The genetic clusteringanalysesfoundadmixedindividuals ineasternAmazoniaandnorthernsitesintheAtlanticForest(Figure1ab)Moreovertheestimation of historical demographic parameters under a coalescent framework recovered population gene flow across forests in both anolespecies(Figure2)Theseresultsareconsistentwiththeideaofrecurrent forest expansions that favored post‐divergence migration across regions It is currently unclear however whether this signa‐ture of historical gene flow resulted from one or multiple forest con‐nections over time
Genetic clustering analyses of A ortonii and A punctatus found thatAtlanticForestsamplescomposeadistinctgeneticgroupfromAmazoniansamplesinbothspeciespointingtoanimportantroleofforest separation in promoting population genetic divergence The idea of expansion of semi‐arid habitats in northeastern Brazil during the Quaternary causing fragmentation of forest habitats is sup‐ported by genetic studies of species from these dry regions (Gehara etal2017Thomeacuteetal2016)Formerexpansionsofopenanddryhabitats may have favored speciation and further diversification of forest organisms as supported by a pattern of sister relationships betweenspeciesorcladesthatoccurinAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest as seen in birds snakes and mammals (eg Costa 2003Batalha-Filhoet al2013Dal-VechioPratesGrazziotinZaherampRodrigues 2018)

Based on genomewide data of A ortonii and A punctatus two widespreadSouthAmericananole lizard specieswe inferdistinctgeneticpopulations inAmazonia and theAtlanticForest suggest‐ing that separation of these forests following a period of contact has favoredgeneticdivergence (Figure1) Inbothspecieshistori‐cal demographic analyses indicate large effective population sizes mid‐Pleistocene colonizations and post‐divergence population gene flow (Figure 2) Lastly we find evidence of associations betweenenvironmental gradients and allele frequency patterns inA punc‐tatus but not in A ortonii (Table 1) which is consistent with local adaptation in A punctatus only Analyses of environmental spaceoccupancy suggest that the two species experience largely similar climatesinAmazoniaandthenorthernAtlanticForestyetA punc‐tatus occupies cooler and less humid localities that are not occupied by A ortoniiinthesouthernAtlanticForest(Figure3)

Historical relationships and coalescent times between AmazonianandAtlanticForestpopulationsofbothA ortonii and A punctatus
support the hypothesis that a forest corridor connected these two major forest blocks in the mid‐Pleistocene These findings corrobo‐rate the results of previous analyses based on much smaller genetic datasetsforthesespecies(Pratesetal2015PratesRiveraetal2016) Moreover they agree with paleontological geochemical and palynological records supporting a history of pulses of increased pre‐cipitationinSouthAmericaduringtheQuaternaryWetterclimateshave been implicated in periodic forest expansions in present‐day northeastern Brazil leading to connections and species exchange betweenAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest(egChengetal2013deOliveiraBarretoampSuguio1999deVivoampCarmignotto2004)
Recurrent forest corridors may have led to periodic re‐establish‐mentofgeneflowfollowingthecolonizationofnewregionsApre‐vious test of this idea based on a multi‐locus dataset from A ortonii and A punctatus was inconclusive presumably due to limited signal in the genetic data available (Prates Rivera et al 2016) Here on the basis thousands of restriction site‐associated markers we found evi‐dence of historical gene flow across major forest blocks The genetic clusteringanalysesfoundadmixedindividuals ineasternAmazoniaandnorthernsitesintheAtlanticForest(Figure1ab)Moreovertheestimation of historical demographic parameters under a coalescent framework recovered population gene flow across forests in both anolespecies(Figure2)Theseresultsareconsistentwiththeideaofrecurrent forest expansions that favored post‐divergence migration across regions It is currently unclear however whether this signa‐ture of historical gene flow resulted from one or multiple forest con‐nections over time
Genetic clustering analyses of A ortonii and A punctatus found thatAtlanticForestsamplescomposeadistinctgeneticgroupfromAmazoniansamplesinbothspeciespointingtoanimportantroleofforest separation in promoting population genetic divergence The idea of expansion of semi‐arid habitats in northeastern Brazil during the Quaternary causing fragmentation of forest habitats is sup‐ported by genetic studies of species from these dry regions (Gehara etal2017Thomeacuteetal2016)Formerexpansionsofopenanddryhabitats may have favored speciation and further diversification of forest organisms as supported by a pattern of sister relationships betweenspeciesorcladesthatoccurinAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest as seen in birds snakes and mammals (eg Costa 2003Batalha-Filhoet al2013Dal-VechioPratesGrazziotinZaherampRodrigues 2018)

Similar to this study other investigations found differences in thefrequencyofalleles thatunderlieecologically relevantphysio‐logical processes between populations that inhabit contrasting hab‐itats (egYoderetal2014Benestanetal2016DennenmoserVamosiNolteampRogers2017GuoLuLiaoampMerilauml2016)Afewof these studies involved anole lizards For instance in theNorthAmericanA carolinensis colonization of colder temperate regions from a tropical Caribbean source has been linked to adaptive shifts in several genes including loci that are involved with develop‐ment energy metabolism and immune response (Campbell‐Staton EdwardsampLosos2016)Additionallyevidenceofthermaladapta‐tion along an altitudinal gradient has been found in Anolis cybotes from Hispaniola involving genes that play a role in bone formation and development lipid metabolism and regulation of blood pressure (Rodriacuteguez et al 2017) Similar to the case of A punctatus these examples support that adaptation to cooler climates has played an essential role in range expansions across anole taxa including mainland and Caribbean forms that span altitudinal and latitudinal gradients It is currently unclear however whether potentially ben‐eficial polymorphisms preceded the colonization of new geographic regions by these species

44emsp|emspDistinct GEAA patterns among species
Population structure and history can constrain local adaptation (BridleampVines2007Lenormand2002)yetouranalysessuggestthat these factors do not account for different signatures of adapta‐tion between the two anole species G‐PhoCS analyses recovered higher gene flow in A punctatus than in A ortonii as well as older colonizationoftheAtlanticForest inA ortonii than in A punctatus (Figure2)Lowerlevelsofgeneflowandearliercolonizationmighthave favored local adaptation in A ortoniihoweverGEAAfoundal‐lelefrequencypatternsassociatedwithclimaticgradientsinA punc‐tatus onlyAs a result constraints related to population structureandhistorydonotseemsufficienttoexplaindiscrepantGEAAre‐sults between the two species

This investigation illustrates how studies of adaptation on the basis of GEAA can benefit from knowledge about the history oflandscape occupation by the species under investigation Data on population structure and history can provide insight about how gene flow and natural selection interact and shape population genetic dif‐ferentiation Moreover information about the direction and routes of colonization of new habitats can support spatial sampling design help to characterize landscape gradients and support the formula‐tion of hypotheses about how organisms have responded to envi‐ronmental variation in space

Based on genomewide data of A ortonii and A punctatus two widespreadSouthAmericananole lizard specieswe inferdistinctgeneticpopulations inAmazonia and theAtlanticForest suggest‐ing that separation of these forests following a period of contact has favoredgeneticdivergence (Figure1) Inbothspecieshistori‐cal demographic analyses indicate large effective population sizes mid‐Pleistocene colonizations and post‐divergence population gene flow (Figure 2) Lastly we find evidence of associations betweenenvironmental gradients and allele frequency patterns inA punc‐tatus but not in A ortonii (Table 1) which is consistent with local adaptation in A punctatus only Analyses of environmental spaceoccupancy suggest that the two species experience largely similar climatesinAmazoniaandthenorthernAtlanticForestyetA punc‐tatus occupies cooler and less humid localities that are not occupied by A ortoniiinthesouthernAtlanticForest(Figure3)

support the hypothesis that a forest corridor connected these two major forest blocks in the mid‐Pleistocene These findings corrobo‐rate the results of previous analyses based on much smaller genetic datasetsforthesespecies(Pratesetal2015PratesRiveraetal2016) Moreover they agree with paleontological geochemical and palynological records supporting a history of pulses of increased pre‐cipitationinSouthAmericaduringtheQuaternaryWetterclimateshave been implicated in periodic forest expansions in present‐day northeastern Brazil leading to connections and species exchange betweenAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest(egChengetal2013deOliveiraBarretoampSuguio1999deVivoampCarmignotto2004)
Recurrent forest corridors may have led to periodic re‐establish‐mentofgeneflowfollowingthecolonizationofnewregionsApre‐vious test of this idea based on a multi‐locus dataset from A ortonii and A punctatus was inconclusive presumably due to limited signal in the genetic data available (Prates Rivera et al 2016) Here on the basis thousands of restriction site‐associated markers we found evi‐dence of historical gene flow across major forest blocks The genetic clusteringanalysesfoundadmixedindividuals ineasternAmazoniaandnorthernsitesintheAtlanticForest(Figure1ab)Moreovertheestimation of historical demographic parameters under a coalescent framework recovered population gene flow across forests in both anolespecies(Figure2)Theseresultsareconsistentwiththeideaofrecurrent forest expansions that favored post‐divergence migration across regions It is currently unclear however whether this signa‐ture of historical gene flow resulted from one or multiple forest con‐nections over time
Genetic clustering analyses of A ortonii and A punctatus found thatAtlanticForestsamplescomposeadistinctgeneticgroupfromAmazoniansamplesinbothspeciespointingtoanimportantroleofforest separation in promoting population genetic divergence The idea of expansion of semi‐arid habitats in northeastern Brazil during the Quaternary causing fragmentation of forest habitats is sup‐ported by genetic studies of species from these dry regions (Gehara etal2017Thomeacuteetal2016)Formerexpansionsofopenanddryhabitats may have favored speciation and further diversification of forest organisms as supported by a pattern of sister relationships betweenspeciesorcladesthatoccurinAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest as seen in birds snakes and mammals (eg Costa 2003Batalha-Filhoet al2013Dal-VechioPratesGrazziotinZaherampRodrigues 2018)

Population structure and history can constrain local adaptation (BridleampVines2007Lenormand2002)yetouranalysessuggestthat these factors do not account for different signatures of adapta‐tion between the two anole species G‐PhoCS analyses recovered higher gene flow in A punctatus than in A ortonii as well as older colonizationoftheAtlanticForest inA ortonii than in A punctatus (Figure2)Lowerlevelsofgeneflowandearliercolonizationmighthave favored local adaptation in A ortoniihoweverGEAAfoundal‐lelefrequencypatternsassociatedwithclimaticgradientsinA punc‐tatus onlyAs a result constraints related to population structureandhistorydonotseemsufficienttoexplaindiscrepantGEAAre‐sults between the two species

Based on genomewide data of A ortonii and A punctatus two widespreadSouthAmericananole lizard specieswe inferdistinctgeneticpopulations inAmazonia and theAtlanticForest suggest‐ing that separation of these forests following a period of contact has favoredgeneticdivergence (Figure1) Inbothspecieshistori‐cal demographic analyses indicate large effective population sizes mid‐Pleistocene colonizations and post‐divergence population gene flow (Figure 2) Lastly we find evidence of associations betweenenvironmental gradients and allele frequency patterns inA punc‐tatus but not in A ortonii (Table 1) which is consistent with local adaptation in A punctatus only Analyses of environmental spaceoccupancy suggest that the two species experience largely similar climatesinAmazoniaandthenorthernAtlanticForestyetA punc‐tatus occupies cooler and less humid localities that are not occupied by A ortoniiinthesouthernAtlanticForest(Figure3)
41emsp|emspPopulation history of South American forest anoles
Historical relationships and coalescent times between AmazonianandAtlanticForestpopulationsofbothA ortonii and A punctatus
support the hypothesis that a forest corridor connected these two major forest blocks in the mid‐Pleistocene These findings corrobo‐rate the results of previous analyses based on much smaller genetic datasetsforthesespecies(Pratesetal2015PratesRiveraetal2016) Moreover they agree with paleontological geochemical and palynological records supporting a history of pulses of increased pre‐cipitationinSouthAmericaduringtheQuaternaryWetterclimateshave been implicated in periodic forest expansions in present‐day northeastern Brazil leading to connections and species exchange betweenAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest(egChengetal2013deOliveiraBarretoampSuguio1999deVivoampCarmignotto2004)
Recurrent forest corridors may have led to periodic re‐establish‐mentofgeneflowfollowingthecolonizationofnewregionsApre‐vious test of this idea based on a multi‐locus dataset from A ortonii and A punctatus was inconclusive presumably due to limited signal in the genetic data available (Prates Rivera et al 2016) Here on the basis thousands of restriction site‐associated markers we found evi‐dence of historical gene flow across major forest blocks The genetic clusteringanalysesfoundadmixedindividuals ineasternAmazoniaandnorthernsitesintheAtlanticForest(Figure1ab)Moreovertheestimation of historical demographic parameters under a coalescent framework recovered population gene flow across forests in both anolespecies(Figure2)Theseresultsareconsistentwiththeideaofrecurrent forest expansions that favored post‐divergence migration across regions It is currently unclear however whether this signa‐ture of historical gene flow resulted from one or multiple forest con‐nections over time
Genetic clustering analyses of A ortonii and A punctatus found thatAtlanticForestsamplescomposeadistinctgeneticgroupfromAmazoniansamplesinbothspeciespointingtoanimportantroleofforest separation in promoting population genetic divergence The idea of expansion of semi‐arid habitats in northeastern Brazil during the Quaternary causing fragmentation of forest habitats is sup‐ported by genetic studies of species from these dry regions (Gehara etal2017Thomeacuteetal2016)Formerexpansionsofopenanddryhabitats may have favored speciation and further diversification of forest organisms as supported by a pattern of sister relationships betweenspeciesorcladesthatoccurinAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest as seen in birds snakes and mammals (eg Costa 2003Batalha-Filhoet al2013Dal-VechioPratesGrazziotinZaherampRodrigues 2018)

This investigation illustrates how studies of adaptation on the basis of GEAA can benefit from knowledge about the history oflandscape occupation by the species under investigation Data on population structure and history can provide insight about how gene flow and natural selection interact and shape population genetic dif‐ferentiation Moreover information about the direction and routes of colonization of new habitats can support spatial sampling design help to characterize landscape gradients and support the formula‐tion of hypotheses about how organisms have responded to envi‐ronmental variation in space

Based on genomewide data of A ortonii and A punctatus two widespreadSouthAmericananole lizard specieswe inferdistinctgeneticpopulations inAmazonia and theAtlanticForest suggest‐ing that separation of these forests following a period of contact has favoredgeneticdivergence (Figure1) Inbothspecieshistori‐cal demographic analyses indicate large effective population sizes mid‐Pleistocene colonizations and post‐divergence population gene flow (Figure 2) Lastly we find evidence of associations betweenenvironmental gradients and allele frequency patterns inA punc‐tatus but not in A ortonii (Table 1) which is consistent with local adaptation in A punctatus only Analyses of environmental spaceoccupancy suggest that the two species experience largely similar climatesinAmazoniaandthenorthernAtlanticForestyetA punc‐tatus occupies cooler and less humid localities that are not occupied by A ortoniiinthesouthernAtlanticForest(Figure3)

support the hypothesis that a forest corridor connected these two major forest blocks in the mid‐Pleistocene These findings corrobo‐rate the results of previous analyses based on much smaller genetic datasetsforthesespecies(Pratesetal2015PratesRiveraetal2016) Moreover they agree with paleontological geochemical and palynological records supporting a history of pulses of increased pre‐cipitationinSouthAmericaduringtheQuaternaryWetterclimateshave been implicated in periodic forest expansions in present‐day northeastern Brazil leading to connections and species exchange betweenAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest(egChengetal2013deOliveiraBarretoampSuguio1999deVivoampCarmignotto2004)
Recurrent forest corridors may have led to periodic re‐establish‐mentofgeneflowfollowingthecolonizationofnewregionsApre‐vious test of this idea based on a multi‐locus dataset from A ortonii and A punctatus was inconclusive presumably due to limited signal in the genetic data available (Prates Rivera et al 2016) Here on the basis thousands of restriction site‐associated markers we found evi‐dence of historical gene flow across major forest blocks The genetic clusteringanalysesfoundadmixedindividuals ineasternAmazoniaandnorthernsitesintheAtlanticForest(Figure1ab)Moreovertheestimation of historical demographic parameters under a coalescent framework recovered population gene flow across forests in both anolespecies(Figure2)Theseresultsareconsistentwiththeideaofrecurrent forest expansions that favored post‐divergence migration across regions It is currently unclear however whether this signa‐ture of historical gene flow resulted from one or multiple forest con‐nections over time
Genetic clustering analyses of A ortonii and A punctatus found thatAtlanticForestsamplescomposeadistinctgeneticgroupfromAmazoniansamplesinbothspeciespointingtoanimportantroleofforest separation in promoting population genetic divergence The idea of expansion of semi‐arid habitats in northeastern Brazil during the Quaternary causing fragmentation of forest habitats is sup‐ported by genetic studies of species from these dry regions (Gehara etal2017Thomeacuteetal2016)Formerexpansionsofopenanddryhabitats may have favored speciation and further diversification of forest organisms as supported by a pattern of sister relationships betweenspeciesorcladesthatoccurinAmazoniaandtheAtlanticForest as seen in birds snakes and mammals (eg Costa 2003Batalha-Filhoet al2013Dal-VechioPratesGrazziotinZaherampRodrigues 2018)

Similar to this study other investigations found differences in thefrequencyofalleles thatunderlieecologically relevantphysio‐logical processes between populations that inhabit contrasting hab‐itats (egYoderetal2014Benestanetal2016DennenmoserVamosiNolteampRogers2017GuoLuLiaoampMerilauml2016)Afewof these studies involved anole lizards For instance in theNorthAmericanA carolinensis colonization of colder temperate regions from a tropical Caribbean source has been linked to adaptive shifts in several genes including loci that are involved with develop‐ment energy metabolism and immune response (Campbell‐Staton EdwardsampLosos2016)Additionallyevidenceofthermaladapta‐tion along an altitudinal gradient has been found in Anolis cybotes from Hispaniola involving genes that play a role in bone formation and development lipid metabolism and regulation of blood pressure (Rodriacuteguez et al 2017) Similar to the case of A punctatus these examples support that adaptation to cooler climates has played an essential role in range expansions across anole taxa including mainland and Caribbean forms that span altitudinal and latitudinal gradients It is currently unclear however whether potentially ben‐eficial polymorphisms preceded the colonization of new geographic regions by these species

44emsp|emspDistinct GEAA patterns among species
Population structure and history can constrain local adaptation (BridleampVines2007Lenormand2002)yetouranalysessuggestthat these factors do not account for different signatures of adapta‐tion between the two anole species G‐PhoCS analyses recovered higher gene flow in A punctatus than in A ortonii as well as older colonizationoftheAtlanticForest inA ortonii than in A punctatus (Figure2)Lowerlevelsofgeneflowandearliercolonizationmighthave favored local adaptation in A ortoniihoweverGEAAfoundal‐lelefrequencypatternsassociatedwithclimaticgradientsinA punc‐tatus onlyAs a result constraints related to population structureandhistorydonotseemsufficienttoexplaindiscrepantGEAAre‐sults between the two species
Alternatively distinctGEAApatterns inA ortonii and A punc‐tatus might stem from differences in the climatic regimes experi‐encedbyeachspeciesinpartsoftheirrangeInthecoastalAtlanticForestA ortonii is restricted to northern regions that are climat‐icallymore similar toAmazonia (LedoampColli 2017 Sobral-Souzaetal2015Figure3)BycontrastA punctatus extends into colder and less rainy areas in the southernAtlantic Forest (Figure 3) asfarasthestateofSatildeoPaulo inBrazilrsquossoutheastAsaresultourfinding of several candidate SNPs in A punctatus might be asso‐ciated with local adaptation to cooler and less rainy conditions in the southern edge of this speciesrsquo range as opposed to a pattern of physiological conservatism in A ortonii which shows a narrower rangeintheAtlanticForest Different species capacities to adapt to regional climates may hold the key to a pattern of pronounced tax‐onomiccompositionturnoveraround19ndash20degof latitudeincoastalBrazil(Carnavaletal2014)Howevergeneticclustering(Figure1c)andPCAanalyses(SupportingInformationFigureS2b)basedonthecandidateSNPsflaggedbyGEAAdonotsupportapatternofdiffer‐entiationbetweennorthernandsouthernAtlanticForestsamplesof A punctatus

factors This limitation is particularly important in the case of ge‐netic variants that have weak environmental associations which can bedetectedonlywithlargesamplesizes(MurcrayLewingerContiThomasampGauderman2011) It is thereforepossible thatGEAArecovered only those candidate SNPs that are more strongly as‐sociated with temperature and precipitation gradients across the range of A punctatus yet did not detect several other potentially beneficial SNPs in this species and also in A ortonii This situation illustrates the challenges of implementingGEAA on the basis ofsamples from natural populations which can be hard to obtain in large numbers for certain organisms Nevertheless the sugges‐tion of loci that show strong genomendashenvironment associations in A punctatus encourages further tests on the basis of larger sample sizes

This investigation illustrates how studies of adaptation on the basis of GEAA can benefit from knowledge about the history oflandscape occupation by the species under investigation Data on population structure and history can provide insight about how gene flow and natural selection interact and shape population genetic dif‐ferentiation Moreover information about the direction and routes of colonization of new habitats can support spatial sampling design help to characterize landscape gradients and support the formula‐tion of hypotheses about how organisms have responded to envi‐ronmental variation in space

Similar to this study other investigations found differences in thefrequencyofalleles thatunderlieecologically relevantphysio‐logical processes between populations that inhabit contrasting hab‐itats (egYoderetal2014Benestanetal2016DennenmoserVamosiNolteampRogers2017GuoLuLiaoampMerilauml2016)Afewof these studies involved anole lizards For instance in theNorthAmericanA carolinensis colonization of colder temperate regions from a tropical Caribbean source has been linked to adaptive shifts in several genes including loci that are involved with develop‐ment energy metabolism and immune response (Campbell‐Staton EdwardsampLosos2016)Additionallyevidenceofthermaladapta‐tion along an altitudinal gradient has been found in Anolis cybotes from Hispaniola involving genes that play a role in bone formation and development lipid metabolism and regulation of blood pressure (Rodriacuteguez et al 2017) Similar to the case of A punctatus these examples support that adaptation to cooler climates has played an essential role in range expansions across anole taxa including mainland and Caribbean forms that span altitudinal and latitudinal gradients It is currently unclear however whether potentially ben‐eficial polymorphisms preceded the colonization of new geographic regions by these species

44emsp|emspDistinct GEAA patterns among species
Population structure and history can constrain local adaptation (BridleampVines2007Lenormand2002)yetouranalysessuggestthat these factors do not account for different signatures of adapta‐tion between the two anole species G‐PhoCS analyses recovered higher gene flow in A punctatus than in A ortonii as well as older colonizationoftheAtlanticForest inA ortonii than in A punctatus (Figure2)Lowerlevelsofgeneflowandearliercolonizationmighthave favored local adaptation in A ortoniihoweverGEAAfoundal‐lelefrequencypatternsassociatedwithclimaticgradientsinA punc‐tatus onlyAs a result constraints related to population structureandhistorydonotseemsufficienttoexplaindiscrepantGEAAre‐sults between the two species

factors This limitation is particularly important in the case of ge‐netic variants that have weak environmental associations which can bedetectedonlywithlargesamplesizes(MurcrayLewingerContiThomasampGauderman2011) It is thereforepossible thatGEAArecovered only those candidate SNPs that are more strongly as‐sociated with temperature and precipitation gradients across the range of A punctatus yet did not detect several other potentially beneficial SNPs in this species and also in A ortonii This situation illustrates the challenges of implementingGEAA on the basis ofsamples from natural populations which can be hard to obtain in large numbers for certain organisms Nevertheless the sugges‐tion of loci that show strong genomendashenvironment associations in A punctatus encourages further tests on the basis of larger sample sizes

This investigation illustrates how studies of adaptation on the basis of GEAA can benefit from knowledge about the history oflandscape occupation by the species under investigation Data on population structure and history can provide insight about how gene flow and natural selection interact and shape population genetic dif‐ferentiation Moreover information about the direction and routes of colonization of new habitats can support spatial sampling design help to characterize landscape gradients and support the formula‐tion of hypotheses about how organisms have responded to envi‐ronmental variation in space

This investigation illustrates how studies of adaptation on the basis of GEAA can benefit from knowledge about the history oflandscape occupation by the species under investigation Data on population structure and history can provide insight about how gene flow and natural selection interact and shape population genetic dif‐ferentiation Moreover information about the direction and routes of colonization of new habitats can support spatial sampling design help to characterize landscape gradients and support the formula‐tion of hypotheses about how organisms have responded to envi‐ronmental variation in space
