Fig. 2: Random forest variable importance plots for selected predictors in the range contraction and expansion models.
From: Global correlates of range contractions and expansions in terrestrial mammals
The plot shows the decreasing importance of intrinsic and extrinsic variables at 10-km resolution in predicting proportional loss (upper panel) and gains (lower panel) in species’ ranges. Big changes in these measures indicate important variables. Yellow bars indicate life-history traits, blue bars human-pressure variables and red bars other variables. n = 204 species have been analysed.
