Fig. 6: Partition of the variation in phylogenetic metrics of angiosperms in geographic regions across the globe and within biogeographic continents explained by current climatic variables, summarized for the globe or each continent.

Each variation partitioning analysis included two sets of explanatory variables (Left column: temperature-related (T) versus precipitation-related (P) variables; right column: climate extreme (E) versus climate seasonality (S)). Each bar represents the average value of five phylogenetic metrics (i.e., PD, MPD, RPD, PDses, and MPDses). Note that the total amount of the variation explained by the pairwise groups of explanatory variables in each panel is the sum of the three bars in the panel (values for some bars may be too small to be seen). An asterisk above a bar represents a negative value resulting from the variation partition. See Methods for explanatory variables in each group of climatic variables.
