Central lines represent medians; bottom and top boxes’ edges represent 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively; whiskers span the data range, up to 1.5 times the interquantile range; data points exceeding such threshold are considered outliers (marked with crosses). Genus richness values are as in Fig. 5. Sample sizes n = numbers of reaches/sites for each column of the boxplot are also reported. Stream order values across the river network are displayed in Fig. 1c. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
