Fig. 1: Sampling locations and latitudinal gradients in springtail community metrics.
From: Globally invariant metabolism but density-diversity mismatch in springtails
a Distribution of the 2470 sampling sites (43,601 soil samples). The histogram shows the number of sites in each 20-degree latitudinal belt, relative to the total land area in the belt. b–g, Variation in density (n = 2210 independent sites), biomass, community metabolism, average body mass and average individual metabolism (n = 2053), and local species richness (n = 1735) with latitude. Grey circles across panels show sampling sites; red points are averages for 5-degree latitudinal belts; trends are illustrated with a quadratic function based on 5-degree averages (red line shows the mean, shaded band shows the 95% confidence interval). Source data are provided as a Source data file.
