Funnel plots of AvTD from shuffling analyses. Funnel plots of Average Taxonomic Distinctness (AvTD) upon master lists' shuffling from (a) bivalves [19], (b) carnivores [20], (c) coleoids [21], and (d) termites [22] data sets are shown. Results are from 1,000 shuffled master lists and 100 random replicates. Thick lines are the highest values found across all replicates and the lower 95% confidence limit (2.5% and 97.5% confidence limits); thin lines represent the mean across all replicates (2.5% and 97.5% confidence limits); experimental samples are shown by black dots. Shuffling tuning as in Table 2.
