Extended Data Fig. 3

This figure illustrates the distribution of threatened species across different overlapping levels with climate refugia. A species was considered threatened when its experienced temperature (equal to local temperature plus mean warming stress) exceeded its thermal tolerance limits. Threatened species are categorized based on the proportion of their distribution range that overlaps with these refugia: (1) Poorly refuged species (<2% of distribution in refugia); (2) Moderately refuged species (2–10% of distribution in refugia); (3) Well refuged species (>10% of distribution in refugia).
