a Species richness of large carnivores from the families Canidae, Felidae, Hyaenidae and Ursidae of the order Carnivora. Species richness derived by finding the sum of each species (N = 87) current IUCN range maps (terrestrial-extant range only, so excluding locations the species is now extinct). For instance, a value of 10 indicates that 10 large carnivore species are suspected to occur within this 5-degree cell according to IUCN range maps. b The frequency of collected quantitative and qualitative trends in a given cell divided by the species richness of the cell. Shading is shown on the log-10 scale. Cells with no trends are coloured in deep purple. c temporal coverage of quantitative and qualitative observations, where each line represents a trend; the left and right of each line indicates the start and end point of each trend. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
