"The Oploca population (hereafter Eastern population) was located in southwestern Bolivia (21°20'S, 65°50'W; 3,121 m above sea level); the Chusmiza population (hereafter Western population) was located in the high Andean plateau of northern Chile (19°40'S, 69°10'W; 3,460 m above sea level). The Eastern population is characterized by dry climate with rainfall ranging from 200 to 650 mm; most rain falls during summer (November–February), and mean temperature ranges from 14°C to 19°C (López 2003; Servicio Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología 2012). The study area of this population included xerophytic vegetation, where the succulents Trichocereus tacaquirensis, Oreocereus celsianus, and Opuntia boliviensis, and the thorn scrubs Acacia feddeana, Cercidium andicola, and Prosopis ferox were the most common species (López 2000; Ibisch et al. 2003; López et al. 2010). In contrast, the climate of the Western population is more arid than that of the Eastern population, with a mean annual precipitation of 101 mm (Ministerio de Obras Públicas 2012) that concentrates during austral summer (January–March; invierno boliviano — Garreaud et al. 2009). Mean ambient temperature of Western population ranged from -0.2°C to 6.8°C (Ministerio de Obras Públicas 2012), and vegetation was dominated by small bushes and cacti, including Atriplex sp., Baccharis boliviensis, Senna birostris, Lophopappus tarapacanus, Corryocactus brevistylus, Oreocereus leucotrichus, Trichocereus atacamensis, Opuntia soehrensii, and Opuntia camachoi (Philippi 1941; Villagrán et al. 1999; Moreira-Muñoz 2011)."
