Fig. 4: Global distribution of 10% of the species with the highest clade density value in each analyzed clade.

More intense colors indicate a concentration of overlapping ranges. In the case of squamates (a), the analyzed clades include: Iguania (blue), Gekkota (red), Scincoidea (yellow), and Anguimorpha (green). For mammals (b), the analyzed clades consist of: Chiroptera (blue), Diprotodondia (red), Cetartiodactyla (yellow), and Primates (green).
