Non-consecutive numbers in the first column correspond to species that are presently not in the top 11 species that suffered the largest range loss, but will be in the top 11 under future land use change. Prop Rem is the proportion of original range remaining. Ranking starts from the species losing more range. Arrows indicate change in rank.
