Extended Data Fig. 4: Numbers and proportion of endemic vascular plants on islands in relation to island area, isolation and absolute latitude across all islands in each category.

Extended Data Fig. 4

Islands are grouped into continental (560 islands), complex origin and fragment (31) and oceanic (1,060). Only significant relationships are shown. Latitude is shown in absolute degrees. Species-area relationship z-values (A, D) are as follows: (A) continental islands: z = 0.47; complex origin and fragment islands: z = 0.72; oceanic islands: z = 0.28. (D) continental islands: z = 0.02; complex origin and fragment islands: z = 0.05; oceanic islands: z = 0.01.
