Global Relationships between Geographic Range Area, Latitudinal Range Extent, Species Richness, Land Area, Island Area, and Latitude

<p>(A) Median geographic range area and latitude. (B) Species richness and latitude. (C) Median range area and latitude for species with midpoints falling in each respective latitudinal band. (D) Total land area (km²) within latitudinal bands. (E) Median latitudinal range extent and latitude. (F) Median geographic range area and species richness. (G) Median latitudinal range extent and species richness. (H) Proportion island area and latitude. For (A–C) and (E and F), open circles represent latitudinal means, and grey points show the spread of individual grid cell values. Southern latitudes are indicated as negative, northern ones as positive. </p

Species-Range Area Distribution for the Global Avifauna

<p>(A) Untransformed range areas. (B) Log₁₀-transformed range areas. (C) Normal probability plot for log₁₀-transformed range areas, showing the expectation under a normal distribution (dashed line) and the observed distribution (open circles). </p

Geographic Distribution of Geographic Range Areas, Latitudinal Range Extent, and Species Richness for the Global Avifauna

<p>(A) Median geographic range area (km²). (B) Minimum geographic range area (km²). (C) Variance in geographic range area (km²). (D) Median latitudinal range extent (degrees). (E) Minimum latitudinal range extent (degrees). (F) Total species richness. The map scales are based on quartiles of the underlying distributions; the scale bars show the quartile values for each map. Parallels are shown at 45° S, the Equator, and 45° N. </p
