Table 1. Habitat loss and projected extinction risk by dispersal scenario and clade.

Values are averaged across all general circulation models (GCMs) and RCP scenarios (46), and the percentage of species committed to extinction is calculated using the three Thomas et al. (6) SAR methods. Percentiles are calculated from species-level averages of GCMs and RCPs (that is, all variance is interspecific).
