Table 2 Impact factors for each explanatory factor per gradient. The impact factors are the sum of the Akaike weights for each model including the explanatory factors across the whole model set. The bold values represent the factors with strong support (larger than 0.80) across all 31 models. Larger-ranged species: the 50% of species with ranges above the median range size; Smaller-ranged species: the 50% of species with ranges below the median range size; MDE: mid-domain effect; AMT: annual mean temperature; AMP: annual mean precipitation; EVI: enhanced vegetation index.
