Fig. 1: Phylogenetic tree of 497 Neotropical frogs in the families Hylidae (treefrogs) (black branches) and Bufonidae (toads) (gray branches) and the values of branch length and change in climatic suitable area for species.

From: Climate change is projected to shrink phylogenetic endemism of Neotropical frogs

Fig. 1

a shows the phylogenetic tree for the studied frogs, the future range area, and IUCN category. In the legend, the orange color represents threatened species, which includes Critically Endangered, Endangered, and Vulnerable, the yellow color represents Near Threatened species, green color represents Least Concern species, and gray color represents Data Deficient species. Light green colors represent species projected to increase range area in the future, purple color represent species projected to lose a part of their area, and black color represent species projected to lose their entire range area in the future. b presents the density of branch length for species projected to lose and gain range area in 2050. The dotted lines in (b) represent the means of branch lengths for species expected to increase and decrease range area. The (c) displays a boxplot of the projected change in climatically suitable area for species. In the boxplot, the horizontal black line represents the median, the box indicate the interquartile range, and the whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum values. Black dots represent the individual change in range area for each species. The dataset consists of frog species, with n = 213 species in the Decrease category and n = 304 in the Increase category. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
