Figure 1

Spatial distribution patterns of hotspots of tetrapod species in Uruguay. Hotspots metrics for all tetrapods, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals (from left to right), of species-richness (SR) (top row), endemism (E) (second from the top row), threatened species proportion using the global IUCN assessment (TSPG) (third row) or national IUCN assessment (TSPN) (forth row), and threatened species number using the global IUCN assessment (TSNG) (fifth row) or national IUCN assessment (TSNN) (bottom row). Blue cells indicate either non-sampled areas or zero values of threatened species for both relative and absolute estimates. Because of lack of mammals’ threat assessment, values for mammals and tetrapods at national level could not be computed (grey maps are shown). Scale bar values differ between panels depending on the hotspot’s metric, top values are shown for each. All maps in 25 × 25 km grid-cell resolution. Projection WGS1984. Maps generated using ArcGIS 10.6 (https://desktop.arcgis.com).
