Localized versus generalist phenotypes in a broadly distributed tropical mammal: how is intraspecific variation distributed across disparate environments?

Loadings of the 10 environmental principal components (PC) on the first set of PLS axes for the analyses on size, uncorrected, and size-corrected shape. The main environmental information summarized by each component is presented in parenthesis (note, however, that this is an oversimplification; see Additional file 3).
