Extended Data Fig. 2: Predicted probabilities of tropical rainforest-obligate and associated mammal, bird, reptile, and amphibian species being threatened and having declining population trends as a function of two-way interactions between forest structural condition and integrity.

From: Humid tropical vertebrates are at lower risk of extinction and population decline in forests with higher structural integrity

Extended Data Fig. 2

Species tended to be at higher risk of being threatened and having declining populations when high proportions of forest cover within their ranges were structurally intact but of low integrity (that is, under high human pressure) than when their ranges contained low proportions of forest cover in high structural condition and low human pressure. Median predicted probabilities were generated from 100 phylogenetic logistic regressions. See Supplementary Tables 1a and 6 for sample sizes and model estimates, respectively.
