Fig. 4: The distribution of operating RLS and their potential spatial impacts on vertebrates.
From: Rocket launches threaten global biodiversity conservation
a Global distribution patterns of operating RLS based on our collected data; b, c their associations with local threatened species richness (log (x + 1) transformations) of total vertebrates along latitude and longitude. A Solid red line represents the output from generalized additive models and the shadow areas show the 95% confidence intervals. Data for the figure is only based on operating RLS.
