Figure 1.
Map of seed source populations and transplant common garden locations.
Seed source populations (Table S1) are marked by triangles (KZA: Konza Prairie Biological Station; CUI: Cuivre River State Park, CRA: Conard Environmental Research Area; GCD: Grey Cloud Dunes Scientific and Natural Area; AFT: Afton State Park). Common garden locations (Table S2) are marked by black circles. The dotted line is the approximate range edge in this region, based on USDA Plants Database county level information.
Figure 2.
Maximum likelihood estimates of life history stages at each site in each region.
Estimates from the best-fit aster model of proportion early-season survival, reproductive status (whether a plant reproduced or not) given survival, pods produced per plant given reproduction, and lifetime seed production, integrating across the previous stages. Bars represent standard errors. The inset plot shows lifetime seed production for the sites in the Beyond region. At the interior-loam site, the values for survival and reproductive status come from the observed data as all plants were destroyed before end of season data was collected (n.d.) so this site was not included in the aster analysis.

Summary of aster model comparisons to test for effects of population, region and soil and all interactions on C. fasciculata lifetime seedpod production.
Figure 3.
Maximum likelihood estimates of lifetime seed production for each population planted at each site.
Unconditional estimates of lifetime seed production, integrating across the previous stages, from the best-fit aster model. Bars represent standard errors. Populations are organized from north to south along the x-axis. At the interior loam site, data is not shown as all plants were destroyed before end of season. Populations are GCD: Grey Cloud Dunes Scientific and Natural Area; CRA: Conard Environmental Research Area; KZA: Konza Prairie Biological Station. Source locations for each population are given in Fig. 1.
