Fig. 5

Scatter plots of inertia ratios (i.e., the amount of niche shift) versus the changes in amount of niche breadth (Levin’s B2 in environmental space) between the normal and heavy snowfall years in northern Japan: a macaque, b marten, c hare, d boar, e raccoon dog, and f serow. A lower inertia ratio indicates less variation in the centroid of the niche envelope (the mean position in n-dimensional environmental space) under different snowfall conditions (i.e., more strict niche conservatism)
