Two-block partial least square regression of shape and climate. Scatterplot of the first pair of Singular Warps of the Two Block Partial Least Squares analysis between scaled climatic variables (X axis) and symmetrical shape coordinates (Y axis). Deformation grids represent the shape for the minimum and maximum values of the first shape PLS axis plotted against the mean, with a magnification of 3. The climate variable plots represent the loadings of each original variable for the minimum and maximum values of the first climate PLS axis. The variables are as following, the bold ones being the main contributors: A: Annual mean temperature; B: Mean diurnal range; C: Isothermality; D: Temperature seasonality; E: Max temperature of warmest month; F: Min temperature of coldest month; G: Temperature annual range; H: Mean temperature of wettest quarter; I: Mean temperature of driest quarter; J: Mean temperature of warmest quarter; K: Mean temperature of coldest quarter; L: Annual precipitation; M: Precipitation of warmest month; N: Precipitation of driest month; O: Precipitation seasonality; P: Precipitation of wettest quarter; Q: Precipitation of driest quarter; R: Precipitation of warmest quarter; S: Precipitation of colder quarter.
