A The rate of sex reversal in phenotypic males Bassiana duperreyi increases with elevation (F(1,5) = 71.39, p < 0.001; R2 = 0.94) (green triangles). Numbers indicate the field locations, as described in Fig. 1. B Linear regression of yearly (January 1895 to January 2019) mean Tmax (°C) (red squares) (F(1,5) = 14.88, p < 0.05; R2 = 0.74) and Tmin (°C) (blue circles) (F(1,5) = 7.82, p < 0.05; R2 = 0.61) with elevation. Points represent mean ± SD (n = 1561). Temperature data obtained from SILO database (Jeffrey et al. 2001). Broken lines denote the 95% confidence interval.
