different type of space reduction. Each panel displays two groups of 50% of the data points each. Each group (orange and blue) are generated using the following algorithm: (a) randomly (the removed elements are displayed in black and the analyzed ones in gray); (b) by size (maximum and minimum limit); (c) by density (high and low); and (d) by position (positive and negative). Panel e et f represents two typical display of the reduction results displayed in Table 5: The dots represent the median space occupancy values across all simulations for each scenario of trait space change (Table 2), the solid and dashed line, respectively, the 50% and 95% confidence intervals. Results in gray are the random 50% reduction (panel a). Results in blue and orange represent the opposite scenarios from panels b, c, and d. The displayed value is the amount of overlap (Bhattacharrya Coefficient) between the blue or orange distributions and the gray one. Panel e and f shows respectively the “ideal” and “worst” results for any type of measures, where the space occupancy measurement respectively manages or fails to captures a specific type of reduction (i.e., size, position or density; Table 5)
