Scores by order per ecoregion. Twelve mammal orders were found in the database records for the five ecoregions that comprise Colombia. The x-axis shows the ecoregions. The y-axis represents the contribution of each mammal taxonomic order to the total score calculated in each ecoregion (see Supplementary Tables for more detail). Chiroptera presents the highest contribution to the Moist and Dry forests, with more than 50% of the total score in both habitats, followed by Rodentia. Similarly, in the Montane forest and Xeric shrublands, the highest scores are shared between Rodentia and Chiroptera order. Primates represents the highest contribution in the Lowlands and an important contribution in the Xeric shrublands.
