Extended Data Figure 4: Effects of post-LGM changes in biophysical island characteristics on the proportion of endemic species on 184 islands worldwide.

Extended Data Figure 4

a, b, Regression lines were predicted for changes in area (Δarea) (a) and stepping-stone isolation (Δisolation) (b) after accounting for all past and present covariables which were held constant at the mean of their empirical values across the islands (see Fig. 3 and Extended Data Fig. 5). Relationships are shown for single-island endemics (light green) and species endemic to past island units (differs from single-island endemics in cases where several present islands originated from one island during the last glacial maximum) (green). Dashed lines indicate 95% confidence intervals.
