From: Annual climatic fluctuations and short-term genetic variation in the eastern spadefoot toad
taken from Table S2.
(a) The hypothesized frequency distribution of alleles in successive years in pools located in areas of low annual climatic fluctuations (a.I) and high annual climatic fluctuations (a.II). As an example of the variation in selection among successive years, the large tadpole image is associated with a long hydroperiod and slow growth rate, while the small tadpole image is associated with a short hydroperiod and fast growth rate. See text for more details. (b) The interannual variation in allele distribution for four loci (Psy 2, 3, 8, 17) and vernal pools (CQ, GN, GO, GQ) is provided as an example of the high annual fluctuations in the study area. (c) Correspondence analysis associating allele frequencies (gray crosses) and years (red squares) in six vernal pools. Pool name abbreviations were
