Extended Data Fig. 7: A conceptual illustration of different model variants.

The upper panels depict the climatic models CS1 (Null; site-dependency as random effect), CS2 (Climate-dependency), CS3 (Climate-dependency and latitude-dependent seasonality) and CS4 (Climate-dependency and site-specific seasonality). The lower panels depict the weather models W1 (Constant weather effects), W2 (Weather effects depend on site), W3 (Weather effects depend on site and on latitude-dependent seasonality), and W4 (Weather effects depend on site and on site-dependent seasonality). Note that the weather models are not independent models as they are embedded within the climatic models. In each panel, the lines show hypothetical responses. The continuous lines depict the mean responses for the tropical-subtropical (red), temperate (cyan), and polar-continental (purple) climatic zones.
