Fig. 2: Variance of niche partitioning explained by individual variation in P. kuhlii (orange) and P. nathusii (green).

Fig. 2

The points show the mean proportions of variance in the niche models explained by differences between (A) and within (B) individuals for each species and land cover category. The lines indicate 95% credible intervals (CIs). “Complex CPs” refers to the land cover category “Complex Cultivation Patterns”. CIs indicate that between-individual variation was significantly stronger in P. nathusii across all land cover categories except grassland and vineyards. Conversely, within-individual variation was more pronounced in P. kuhlii in all land cover categories aside from grassland, forests and vineyards.
