  abstract = {{P}ast climatic fluctuations have played a major role in shaping the current plant biodiversity. {A}lthough harbouring an exceptional biota, oceanic islands have received little attention in studies on species demographic history and past vegetation patterns. {W}e investigated the impact of past climatic changes on the effective population size of a tree ({C}offea mauritiana) that is endemic to {R}eunion {I}sland, located in the south-western {I}ndian {O}cean ({SWIO}). {D}emographic changes were inferred using summary statistics calculated from genomic data. {U}sing ecological niche modelling and the current distribution of genetic diversity, the paleodistribution of the species was also assessed. {A} reduction in the effective population size of {C}. mauritiana during the last glaciation maximum was inferred. {T}he distribution of the species was reduced on the western side of the island, due to low rainfall. {I}t appeared that a major reduction in rainfall and a slight temperature decrease prevailed in the {SWIO}. {O}ur findings indicated that analyses on the current patterns of intraspecific genetic variations can efficiently contribute to past climatic changes characterisation in remote islands. {I}dentifying area with higher resilience in oceanic islands could provide guidance in forest management and conservation faced to the global climate change.},
