Extended Data Fig. 3

The studies underlying the analysis were subsetted to only the 50, 20 and 10 best sampled sites, and the models were rerun. To aid comparison among rows, the mean estimates of each realm are provided as dotted lines. This shows a progressive shift to more positive slopes for all metrics.
