Methodological artefacts cause counter-intuitive evolutionary conclusions in a simulation study

In their simulation study, Garcia-Costoya et al. (2023) conclude that evolutionary constraints might aid populations facing climate change. However, we are concerned that this conclusion is largely a consequence of the simulated temperature variation being too small, and, most importantly, that uneven limitations to standing variation disadvantage unconstrained populations., , , # Data from: Methodological artefacts cause counter-intuitive evolutionary conclusions in a simulation study

These are the data that we used for the figures in our article. They are parts of four previously published datasets:
