Figure 5

Climate-driven variation of male life-history traits. Depicted are the results of single-trait ANCOVAs (residuals, corrected for other model terms). (a) Males from inland sites (climatic PC2 ≥ median) showed a trend of decreasing body fat contents along climatic PC1 while coastal populations (climatic PC2 < median) showed the opposite pattern. (b) Overall, this led to a pattern where males decreased body fat content with increasing values of climatic PC1. (c) The gonadosomatic index (GSI) increased with increasing values of climatic PC1. (d) Furthermore, increasing values of climate-related PC2 resulted in increased body fat content.
