Extended Data Fig. 7: Relationship between size of habitat fragment and species composition.
From: Ecosystem decay exacerbates biodiversity loss with habitat loss
Overall, we found that turnover contributes more than nestedness to pairwise dissimilarity between fragments within a study, but shows contrasting patterns with increasing fragment size differences. a, Turnover component of Jaccard dissimilarity. b, Turnover or balanced abundance component of Ruzicka dissimilarity. c, Nestedness component of Jaccard dissimilarity. d, Nestedness or abundance gradient component of Ruzicka dissimilarity. Solid black lines and shading show overall relationship and 95% credible interval between each dissimilarity component and the ratio of fragment sizes. Coloured lines show study-level relationships for taxon groups.
