Predictor variables for all models were elevation, prenylated benzoic acid (PBA), chromene, dimeric chromane and GPS location. For the response variable, genetic variation was estimated using the principal component (PC) scores of multi‐locus genotype likelihoods of E. encina individuals transformed into distance matrices. Three matrices were created based on: A, all the PCs; B, PC1 and 2; C, only PC2 scores. Elevation and PBA were significant predictors of genetic variation in Eois encina populations.
