Figure 1

Funnel plots of AvTD from four published data sets. Funnel plots of Average Taxonomic Distinctness (AvTD) from (a) bivalves [19], (b) carnivores [20], (c) coleoids [21], and (d) termites [22] data sets are shown. Results are from 100 random replicates. Thick lines are the highest values found across all replicates of each dimension and the lower 95% confidence limit; the thin line is the mean across all replicates; experimental samples are shown by black dots.
