Additional information

Species Abundance Responses to Warming
Mean species-level relationships between abundance and temperature for the 50 most common species in 172 1_ 3 1_ cells. Red indicates an increase in abundance in warm years, blue indicates a decline, and gray indicates no significant response. (See Table S2 for scientific
names, species life history traits, and regional-scale responses.)
