Quintana-Murci and his team found that the split between these groups occurred around 20,000 years ago, when a period of climate change led to the Pygmy's rainforest habitat retreating into 'refugia', or small refuges of surviving rainforest, before expanding outward again.

And I think we have to look at new ways of not only having national parks and reserves in place, which provide that kind of refugia, but also making that we've got the corridors and connectivity that these species will actually need to exist in a natural landscape; (a) which is evolving, but (b) which has climate change impact.

This westernmost line was meant to distinguish the Napo ecoregion, to the west, from these interfluvial ecoregions as an area of Pleistocene refugia and butterfly endemism (see Napo moist forest description).

Overall, endemism is quite high in this hotspot because of extensive speciation among several groups of plants, most notably the epiphytes, suggesting that the region was the location of plant refugia during Pleistocene glaciations.
