Number of ecoregions included in priority sets and percentage of representation of threatened Neotropical anuran species with different developmental modes attained in priority ecoregion-setting exercises, when species were discriminated according to this life-history trait (right columns) or not (left columns). Rows show progressively decreasing conservation targets. AL = species with aquatic larvae; TD = species with terrestrial development. Bold numbers show instances where the intended conservation target is not attained.
