Extended Data Fig. 9

a, Removing species with low affinity for the diversified agricultural habitat (orange points) and individuals that used elements of the natural landscape (purple points) has little effect on long-term changes in the species composition, though there is some difference in magnitude. b, Removing species with low affinity for the diversified agricultural habitat (orange points) results in moderate reductions in species richness, although there is no effect of removing individuals that used elements of the natural landscape (purple points) on species richness estimates. a, Points depict the mean (±s.e.m.) community similarity measured as Bray–Curtis similarity for each transect to itself in the first year of this study. nspp. = 510, ntransects = 44, nyears = 18. b, Points depict the mean (±s.e.m.) Chao’s estimated species richness. nspp. = 510, ntransects = 44, nyears = 18.
