Abstract
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.

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

Data from Garcia-Costoya et al. (2023)
The files 'both_500.RData', 'gsto_500.RData', 'none_500.RData', and 'tde_500.RData' are unmodified data files from Garcia-Costoya et al. 2023. We quote the relevant part of the original authors' metadata below:
[t]he raw data for all individuals generated as part of the initial populations faced with climate change scenarios in our simulations. In all cases, each file indicates genetic correlation and initial population size (and carrying capacity) in the format

: For the thermodynamic effect (TDE).both
: For both the GSTO and the TDE acting together.
Microclimate data
Our file equador.txt contains the columns 'value' (renamed to 'temp'; temperaure in °C), 'alt_height_slope' (renamed to 'site'), and date.time (renamed to 'date_time'; date in YYYY-MM-DD format) from the file fig1.1.logger.hourly.means.csv in Montejo-Kovacevich (2020)
Our file spain.txt contains the columns 'TEMP' (renamed to 'temp'; temperaure in °C), 'site', and 'Winter_time' (renamed to 'date_time'; date in YYYY-MM-DD format) from sensors_hourly.csv in Vives-Ingla et al. (2023).
Our file sweden.txt contains the columns 'cage' (renamed to 'site'; temperaure in °C), 'temp', and 'date.time' (renamed to 'date_time'; date in YYYY-MM-DD format) from von Schmalensee et al. (2021).
R code
The file figure_script.R contains all (annotated) code used for producing the figures in our article.
