Relation of niche traits and Potential distribution size (×10000) in km2, for a set of 49 exotic plants occurring in Chile A Thermal niche breadth B Thermal niche position C Hydric niche breadth D Hydric niche position. We detected significant effects for Thermal niche breadth and position. The p-values were obtained from GAMLSS. Confident intervals were constructed with LOESS regression analysis.
