Fig. 2. Importance of individual variables for predicting global threatened species richness.

Fig. 2

Top panel a indicates the importance of individual variables from the global models of vertebrate threatened species richness, whilst the bottom panels indicate the measures of individual variable importance from the global models of amphibian (b), reptile (c), bird (d) and mammal (e) threatened species richness. Variables are grouped into broader classes, which are indicated by the capital letters on the side of the variable names: Total Species Richness (S), Environmental (E), and Human Impact (H) covariates. Variables are ranked first by groups and then by their median importance in the global model of vertebrate threatened species richness. The vertical line across each box indicates the median and the box boundaries indicate the interquartile range (IQR). Whiskers identify extreme data points that are not more than 1.5 times the IQR on both sides; the dots are more extreme outliers. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
