Extended Data Fig. 2: Drivers of changes in stability (analysis includes both pre- and post-extinction period).
From: Climate-mediated shifts in temperature fluctuations promote extinction risk
Kernel density plots illustrate the relationships between population mean and population standard deviation in the historical period and the future climate change period. The grey 1:1 line divides the more stable regime (high-mean/low-variance; below line), and the less stable regime (low-mean/high-variance; above line). Bimodal distributions emerge in the extra-tropics, with some species at low abundance and standard deviation, and a larger cluster of species at high abundance and standard deviation.
