Fig 2. Relationships between the demography of woodland caribou and principal components describing the meteorological growing season.

Left-column graphs depict the relative contribution of meteorological variables (Start = season start, End = season end, Length = season length, mMaxT = mean maximum temperature, sdMaxT = standard deviation maximum temperature, mMinT = mean minimum temperature, sdMinT = standard deviation minimum temperature, cPrecip = cumulative precipitation) to the first two principal components. Right-column graphs show the coefficients (with 95% CIs) for each principal component for models evaluating effects on adult female survival (AFS) and calf: adult female (CAF) ratios. Rows reflect the time frame considered.
