Data from: Precipitation drives global variation in natural selection

Climate change has the potential to affect the ecology and evolution of
every species on Earth. Although the ecological consequences of climate
change are increasingly well documented, the effects of climate on the key
evolutionary process driving adaptation—natural selection—are largely
unknown. We report that aspects of precipitation and potential
evapotranspiration, along with the North Atlantic Oscillation, predicted
variation in selection across plant and animal populations throughout many
terrestrial biomes, whereas temperature explained little variation. By
showing that selection was influenced by climate variation, our results
indicate that climate change may cause widespread alterations in selection
regimes, potentially shifting evolutionary trajectories at a global scale.
