Extended Data Fig. 1

We compared the results (dashed blue line) to a null model (solid red line) in which subsamples of 30 individuals were all drawn from the same date. Shaded areas represent the 95% confidence intervals across 100 replicates of the sampling process. Each point represents the mean across all replicates for a single site-year. The difference between the endpoints of the observed and null accumulation curves represents the increase in the minimum set that is due to turnover across days within a year.
