Fig. 2: Avian community sensitivity to forest conversion.

a–i, The distribution across species of regional avian community sensitivity to forest conversion (occupancy probability in forest divided by pasture), expressed in absolute terms (a,d,g) and relative to the pan-Colombia value (b,e,h), and the change in average sensitivity as regions are sequentially pooled together (c,f,i). a, b and c characterize the 25th percentile of the distribution across species (low sensitivity to habitat conversion), d, e and f the median (medium sensitivity), and g, h and i the 75th percentile (high sensitivity). In b, e and h, the vertical dashed line at 1 indicates parity between pan-Colombia sensitivity to habitat conversion and the sensitivity of the avian community within each sub-region; a relative difference of 2 indicates that pan-Colombia sensitivity is double that of a particular sub-region. c, f and i give average sensitivity to habitat conversion of collections of different numbers of subregions (point and 90% CI lines). The grey-shaded area represents the point where pooled-region sensitivity to habitat conversion is within 95% of the pan-Colombia score, with the dashed line at 1.0 indicating parity between pan-Colombia sensitivity to habitat conversion and the sensitivity of the avian community across pooled subregions.
