a–f, Probability density functions and spatial distributions of rates of change in species richness (a,b) and the proportion of gained (c,d) and lost (e,f) species since the LGM. The rate of change is quantified for every time series as the slope of fitted linear models (see Methods and Extended Data Figs. 3 and 4). Dashed vertical lines in the probability density functions indicate the overall mean in richness (a), gains (c) and losses (e), and solid black lines indicate zero. Note the different scales of individual plots.
