Backward stepwise regression indicated three highly significant climatic Bioclim variables ( table 2 ), annual mean temperature ( p = 0.0020), annual precipitation ( p = 0.0047), and precipitation of wettest quarter ( p = 0.0063); and three marginally significant Bioclim variables, isothermality ( p = 0.0438), annual temperature range ( p = 0.0458), and mean annual diurnal range ( p = 0.0484). 4.

The effect of Köppen-Geiger climate classification on SMR residuals for native species was marginally insignificant by ANOVA ( F 2,83 = 3.08, p = 0.051); however a priori contrasts, assuming an ordered increase of aridity between the Köppen-Geiger climate classifications, identified a significant effect of increasing aridity on SMR residuals ( F 1,84 = 6.22, p = 0.015).
