CR = Critically Endangered, EN = Endangered, VU = Vulnerable, NT = Near Threatened, LC = Least Concern, DD = Data Deficient. Pale red-shaded numbers are highlighted for families with the highest number of species in each threatened category. Threatened representativeness (TR): (number of threatened taxa / total number of taxa per family)*100.
