Figure 2
Proportion of species extinctions (ε) in the simulated landscape after 90% habitat conversion given by the linear, classic SAR and the countryside SAR. Points corresponds to the average number of species extinctions (across 1000 simulations) calculatsed in all sampling windows of a given sampling scale (a natural log transformation was applied to the area of the sampling window). Inset illustrates the nested sampling, with white squares corresponding to human-modified habitat and grey squares to the native habitat. For all models, z = 0.2, with, h 1 = 1 for the native habitat and h 2 = 0.01 for the modified habitat. Error bars indicate for each model, the standard deviation of the fraction of species remaining at a given sample grain.
