Fig. 4: Variation in fragmentation index across fish migration types and conservation statuses.

Boxplots showing the fragmentation index (FI) and mean fragmentation index caused per barrier (^FI) across different migration types (potamodromous, catadromous, anadromous, amphidromous, non-migratory, and unknown [NA]) and conservation status (Critically Endangered [CR], Endangered [EN], Vulnerable [VU], Near Threatened [NT], Least Concern [LC], Not Evaluated [NE], and Data Deficient [DD]). Letters above each box (e.g., “a”, “b”, “c”) denote statistical groupings based on post-hoc comparisons.
