Demographical scenarios simulated for Mauritia flexuosa using the software DIYABC 2.1.0 and their geographic representation. The simulations were performed for six demes. Demes 1, 2 and 3 represent the lineages from the Amazonia biome and demes 4 and 5, and 6 from the Cerrado biome. LGM last glacial maximum, Pres present-day, N0 effective population size at time t0 (present), N1 effective population size at time t1750 (1750 generations ago corresponding to the LGM, 21 ka). The scenarios with admixture test the hypothesis of genetic admixture between populations of the southeastern Amazon basin (deme 6) and populations of Araguaia-Tocantins basin in the Cerrado biome (deme 4) during the LGM
