Fig 1.
Relationship between seed size and elevation.
Depending on a plant species, a mean size of seeds either increased, decreased, or remained uncorrelated with elevation. The lines represent least square regressions fitted to data on mean seed size in the study sites. PE–Primula elatior, SC–Soldanella carpatica, GM–Geum montanum, HA–Homogyne alpina, LW–Leucanthemum waldsteinii, SS–Senecio subalpinus.
