a Predicted genomic offset; and b geographic offset for the bank vole in Britain for 2081–2100; and c adaptive standing variation (SGV) and population adaptive index (PAI). Spatial mapping of genomic offset identified the populations in central England as being most vulnerable to future climate change. In contrast, the geographic offset showed that populations in Scotland are physically furthest from those with relevant adaptive variation (eastern England). The maps were created using ArcMap (v. 10.8) and the Esri World Countries dataset (https://www.esri.com).
