Extended Data Fig. 7: Ecological factors explaining insular size shifts in reptiles.
From: The island rule explains consistent patterns of body size evolution in terrestrial vertebrates
Only 1-2 variables are displayed per plot, while keeping the other predictors at median values. Continuous variables are represented at the 10% and 90% quantile for each extreme (close vs remote or small vs large, and low vs high). lnRR > 0 indicates gigantism, lnRR < 0 indicates dwarfism, and lnRR = 0 indicates no shift in body size in islands compared to mainland populations. Shaded areas represent 95% CI. QM indicates the explained heterogeneity (variance) by the interaction between each explanatory factor and body mass (for example mass:area in panel a), or the explanatory factor only in case of intercept-only models (for example temperature in this case). See Supplementary Table 7 for details.
