Fig. 5: Distributions of human-impacted terminal endemism (HITE) for tetrapods.
From: Global priorities for conservation of reptilian phylogenetic diversity in the face of human impacts
a Density distributions of log-transformed HITE scores for tetrapods. Species with long terminal branches occurring in very few grid cells under high human pressure score highly and fall on the right of the x-axis, whereas species with short terminal branches and large ranges encompassing regions of low human pressure fall on the left of the x-axis. Y-axis indicates density of species in each clade with a given HITE value. b Distribution of HITE scores (in 10−3 MY−1 km2) across tetrapods for each IUCN Red List category (excluding Extinct, Extinct in the Wild and unassessed species): Data Deficient (DD; n = 2604 spp., grey box); Least Concern (LC; n = 15217 spp., dark green box); Near Threatened (NT; n = 1709 spp., light green box); Vulnerable (VU; n = 2007 spp., yellow box); Endangered (EN; n = 1965 spp., orange box); Critically Endangered (CR; n = 1035 spp., red box). c Distribution of HITE scores (in 10−3 MY−1 km2) for Data Deficient (DD) tetrapod species for key tetrapod groups, from left to right on x-axis: lizards (n = 478 DD spp.), snakes (n = 404), turtles (n = 8), amphibians (n = 1222), birds (n = 35) and mammals (n = 457). For boxplots, centre line = median; box limits = upper and lower quartiles; whiskers = 1.5x interquartile range. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
