Extended Data Fig. 6: Schematic depiction of the partitioning of a species´ niche.

From: Climate warming may increase the frequency of cold-adapted haplotypes in alpine plants

Extended Data Fig. 6

Panel (a) shows the suitability curve for the species (black) and for the single genotypes (blue to red, indicating cold to warm adaptation) with a niche size of 50% and two alleles for one locus. The horizontal line shows the occurrence threshold, that is, the suitability value above which conditions are suitable, b) niche partitioning along the temperature axes for two alleles and niche size of 50%, c) two alleles and niche size of 75% and d) three alleles and niche size of 50%. Heterozygotes are depicted by dashed lines.
