Extended Data Fig. 3: Complete rarefaction curves showing the effect of increasing sampling on the number of hyperdominants (a), total species (b), hyperdominant percentage (c), and fitted values of Fisher’s α (d).
From: Consistent patterns of common species across tropical tree communities
In tropical Africa (magenta), Amazonia (cyan), Southeast Asia (blue). Markers represent rarefied points (mean values across iterations of subsamples); shaded areas represent confidence intervals (CIs). Confidence intervals are derived via the standard deviation across iterations of subsamples taken with replacement at each sampling point. Note that although resampling for rarefaction was done by subsampling tree inventory plots, the curves are re-plotted with an x-axis of number of stems.
