Fig. 4From: More opportunities more species: Pleistocene differentiation and northward expansion of an evergreen broad-leaved tree species Machilus thunbergii (Lauraceae) in Southeast ChinaKernel density plots for 19 environmental parameters of the northern (blue curves) and southern (pink curves) clusters of M. thunbergii. Differentiation among groups was evaluated by a nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis multiple-range test, and the results are indicated in each plot. A lack of significant difference (at the P < 0.05 level) is indicated by an equal sign, while significant differences are coded as either higher or lowerBack to article page
