The extent of spatial congruence of (a) all types of hotspots considering all tetrapods and each tetrapod group and (b) each different type of hotspots considering all tetrapods together; varying both the size of the sampling unit (12.5x, 25 × and 50 × km) and the criterion to define a hotspots (%2.5 or 10% of area/number of cells occupied by hotspots).
