Fig. 3: Top 25 Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) jawed vertebrates.
From: Global conservation status of the jawed vertebrate Tree of Life
The 25 jawed vertebrate species with the highest median EDGE scores, calculated from 1000 EDGE scores for each species, generated using the EDGE2 protocol and measuring in millions of years (MY). Colours represent IUCN Red List categories: red = Critically Endangered; orange = Endangered; black = Extinct. *Denotes Critically Endangered species marked with the Possibly Extinct tag on the Red List. Boxplot centre line shows the median; box limits, upper and lower quartiles; whiskers show 1.5x interquartile range. The EDGE score of Psephurus gladius (Chinese Paddlefish) was calculated before it was declared Extinct during preparation of the manuscript. Scores and Red List information for all species in this study available in Supplementary Data 1 and Figshare repository (see “Data availability”). Image credits: 1. Brian Gratwicke; 2.
