Fig. 7. Geographic range-size (number of 1^o quadrats) of the continental pool of land and fresh-water birds in South America (n = 2,891 species). (A) Untransformed range size. (b) Log₁₀-transformed range size.

Supporting Figure 8 Fig. 8.
Longitudinal transects in species richness (log₁₀), median range size (log₁₀), standard deviation of range size (log₁₀), and skewness (g₁) of range size (log₁₀) of assemblage dispersion fields for South American land and freshwater birds. On a continentwide basis, longitude was weakly correlated with species richness (r_s = -0.09) but was more strongly correlated with range-size parameters: median range size (r_s = -0.67), and standard deviation (r_s = 0.48) and skewness (r_s = 0.52).

Fig. 9.
Relationship among range-size parameters of assemblage dispersion fields (a-c) and topographic relief (d) for South American land and freshwater birds (n = 1,676 quadrats). Dispersion fields for highly endemic avifaunas (upper left corner of b) exhibit small range size and right-skewed frequency distributions.
