Extended Data Fig. 10: Climatic space captured among specimen collection locations across ecoregions.

Extended Data Fig. 10

a–n, Variation in long-term climatic conditions among sites of specimen collection occurring within different Level II ecoregions throughout the contiguous United States. Variation in long-term conditions was calculated using principal components (PCs). PC1 represents a gradient of increasing precipitation seasonality, decreasing temperature seasonality and increasing long-term mean annual temperature. In turn, PC2 represents a gradient of decreasing long-term mean annual precipitation and increasing temperature seasonality (see ‘Climatic data’).
