a–c Relationships between ecological variables (bio5, Max Temperature of the Warmest Month; bio16, Precipitation of the Wettest Quarter, and ME. Mean Elevation) and species richness. d–f Ancestral niche estimation. The point estimates and 95% credible intervals of traits reconstructed for common ancestors of section and clade are shown in numerical values and bars. g–i Ancestral niche estimation and niche differentiation among six clades of Juniperus. The shaded areas represent 95% credible intervals. The letters on the boxplots represent the results of multiple comparisons.
