Niche models for Neotropical Asimina species derived using Maxent and ancestral reconstruction of bioclimatic envelopes by BIOCLIM. Projections of potential distribution of each species in south-eastern North America as well as Southeast Asia are presented for visual comparison with Disepalum (Fig. 5). Projections of bioclimatic tolerance of ancestral nodes on present-day climate of Southeast Asia are presented accordingly in the phylogeny. Only bioclimatic models for nodes with Bayesian posterior probability ≥0.95 are projected. See [76] for distributions of extant Asimina species
