Fig. 3. Edge sensitivity and body size in forest core vertebrates.

Fig. 3

Relationships are shown for forest core amphibians, n = 32 (a), birds, n = 289 (b), mammals, n = 116 (c) and reptiles, n = 45 (d). Vertical lines in each panel indicate median body size of forest core species (amphibians, 40.5 mm; birds, 31.0 g; mammals, 61 g; reptiles, 75 mm). We excluded two amphibian species of the order Gymnophiona, who have an elongated body shape. Smoothed curves and 95% confidence bands were obtained from general additive models weighted by dataset reliability (Methods), which better explained the data than a null model for all taxa.
