the Potential Consequences of Climate Change

Fig. 1. Spatial patterns of butterfly diversity in Canada using the 2°
quadrat system. This database includes just over 113,000 records for 292
species. Similar patterns are observed on the unequal area and the 2° grid
systems, respectively. The gradient of richness is from blue (few species)
to red (many species).
