Extended Data Fig. 5

The environmental conditions that characterised the representative distribution (as seen in Extended Data Fig. 1b) of each species group. For each representative distribution, environmental conditions from the 95th percentile of pixels were extracted and further weighted based on the pixel’s value (that is, proportion of member species present) to derive the boxplots shown. Hence, the environmental characteristics described here represent the conditions of only the most suitable of sites (or where more of each cluster’s member species is present). The box plots show the median (central line) and interquartile range (IQR) (box), with whiskers extending to ±1.5 × IQR. Values here were used to inform the labels of each species group. Species groups were ordered based on their distribution changes across pathways (as is in the main text): C10 = SEA tropical & deciduous lowland (pixels = 10648); C11 = Mainland SEA deciduous lowland (pixels = 10695); C1 = Central Bornean tropical submontane (pixels = 10342); C4 = Sundaic tropical coastal & lowland (pixels = 10176); C3 = SEA coastal & mangrove (pixels = 10420); C5 = Sundaic tropical lowland (pixels = 10223); C9 = Indo–Burmese deciduous lowland & submontane (pixels = 11511); C7 = East Asian subtropical submontane (pixels = 10943); C8 = SEA temperate & tropical montane (pixels = 10470); C6 = Southern Tibetan Plateau (pixels = 10432); and C2 = Sundaic tropical montane (pixels = 3537). The number of pixels used to quantify the environmental conditions characterising representative distributions differed among clusters because of differences in the number of pixels with tied valued and/or a narrower representative distribution (that is, C2).
