(2022) (Pleistocene sea level changes and crocodile population histories on the isthmus of panama: a comment on Avila-Cervantes et al. (2020). Evolution, 76(11), 2778\u20132783. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/evo.14610) question our hypothesis that sea-level changes during the past glaciation played a role in restricting gene flow between Pacific and Caribbean Crocodylus acutus in Panama. They argue that an error in sea-level high-stand reconstruction during the last interglacial period (118\u2013130 ka) does not support our hypothesis. Although they are correct in our high-stand reconstruction error, overlooked the point in that we were presenting a model of restricted gene flow across the Panamanian Isthmus during low sea levels. We review the assumptions of gene demographic methods, emphasizing that we were focusing on times of genetic divergence. We expand here why gene flow between these coastal populations could have been restricted during the last glacial maximum (19\u201326.5 ka) and the 50,000 years preceding it when sea levels were lower than today. O\u2019Dea et al. suggest local climates may have played larger roles than sea levels. We demonstrate that paleoclimate estimates for the past 3.3 Ma in Panama are within the bounds of extant C. acutus. The importance of Ice Age Sea-level dynamics on Neotropical species was likely profound and should be incorporated into evolutionary studies of these taxa.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/evolut\/qpac006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,17]],"date-time":"2023-03-17T16:45:07Z","timestamp":1679071507000},"page":"329-334","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Ice Age effects on genetic divergence of the American crocodile (<i>Crocodylus acutus<\/i>) in Panama: reconstructing limits of gene flow and environmental ranges: a reply to O\u2019Dea et al."],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"77","author":[{"given":"Jose","family":"Avila-Cervantes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"McGill University , Montreal, Quebec , Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hans C E","family":"Larsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McGill University , Montreal, Quebec , Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023031716450428800_","article-title":"Crocodylus dispersion based on fossil calibration and DNA sequences, using individuals from wild populations.","author":"Avila-Cervantes","year":"2018"},{"issue":"2","key":"2023031716450428800_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"245","DOI":"10.1111\/evo.14139","article-title":"Effect of the Central American Isthmus on gene flow and divergence of the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus).","volume":"75","author":"Avila-Cervantes","year":"2021","journal-title":"Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution"},{"issue":"19","key":"2023031716450428800_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6110","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1423853112","article-title":"Biological evidence supports an early and complex emergence of the Isthmus of Panama.","volume":"112","author":"Bacon","year":"2015","journal-title":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America"},{"key":"2023031716450428800_","author":"Bivand","year":"2021"},{"issue":"7240","key":"2023031716450428800_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"881","DOI":"10.1038\/nature07933","article-title":"Rapid sea-level rise and reef back-stepping at the close of the last interglacial high stand.","volume":"458","author":"Blanchon","year":"2009","journal-title":"Nature"},{"issue":"5","key":"2023031716450428800_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1102","DOI":"10.1111\/1365-2656.12723","article-title":"Life histories and conservation of long-lived reptiles, an illustration with the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus).","volume":"86","author":"Briggs-Gonzalez","year":"2017","journal-title":"Journal of Animal Ecology"},{"key":"2023031716450428800_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"180254","DOI":"10.1038\/sdata.2018.254","article-title":"Paleoclim, high spatial resolution paleoclimate surfaces for global land areas.","volume":"5","author":"Brown","year":"2018","journal-title":"Scientific Data"},{"issue":"16","key":"2023031716450428800_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3486","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.1569","article-title":"Contrasting demographic history and gene flow patterns of two mangrove species on either side of the Central American Isthmus.","volume":"5","author":"Cero\u0301n-Souza","year":"2015","journal-title":"Ecology and Evolution"},{"key":"2023031716450428800_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"97","DOI":"10.1016\/j.quascirev.2016.01.024","article-title":"Constraint on the penultimate glacial maximum northern hemisphere ice topography (\u2248140 kyrs bp).","volume":"137","author":"Colleoni","year":"2016","journal-title":"Quaternary Science Reviews"},{"issue":"8","key":"2023031716450428800_","first-page":"1187","article-title":"Diyabc v2.0: A software to make approximate Bayesian computation inferences about population history using single nucleotide polymorphism, DNA sequence and microsatellite data.","volume":"30","author":"Cornuet","year":"2014","journal-title":"Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)"},{"issue":"1768","key":"2023031716450428800_","first-page":"20131541","article-title":"Vicariance across major marine biogeographic barriers: Temporal concordance and the relative intensity of hard versus soft barriers.","volume":"280","author":"Cowman","year":"2013","journal-title":"Proceedings.
