Table 1.

Pearson correlation coefficients (r) and absolute differences (2.5–97.5% quantiles) between scaled, interpolated palaeo‐bioclim variables (Oscillayers) generated for the Holocene (HOL), Last Interglacial (LIG) and Pliocene (PLIO) and independent general circulation models (GCMs) for respective time periods and between Community Climate System Model (CCSM) and Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC) models for both HOL and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM)
