Each variation partitioning analysis included two sets of explanatory variables. Each bar represents the average value of five phylogenetic metrics (i.e., PD, MPD, RPD, PDses, and MPDses). Note that the total amount of the variation explained by the pairwise groups of explanatory variables in each panel is the sum of the three bars in the panel (values for some bars may be too small to be seen). An asterisk above a bar represents a negative value resulting from the variation partition. See Methods for explanatory variables in each of the three groups. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
