H* and the cumulative variance explained by each PC axes are expressed as percentages. For each trait, the highest H*-value is highlighted in bold. The variables with the highest loadings on each of the PC axes are the following: PC1: bio.02 (Mean Diurnal Range) and Elevation, PC2: bio.10 (Mean Temperature of the Warmest Quarter) and PET.harg, PC3 and 4: none, PC5: bio.08 (Mean Temperature of the Warmest Quarter) and bio.15 (Precipitation Seasonality)
