| Araujo 1999 Biodiversity distribution in Portugal |
| Species richness for five groups of animals and plants in Portugal and combined map of richness for all groups: (a)
amphibians, seventeen spp., max. richness in a grid cell 15; (b) reptiles, twenty-six spp., max. richness in a grid cell 17; (c)
pteridophytes, sixty-six spp., max. richness in a grid cell 32; (d) bryophytes, ninety spp., max. richness in a grid cell 34; (e)
gymnosperms, nine spp., max. richness in a grid cell 5; (f) combined map of richness, 208 spp., max. richness in a grid cell 82.
Records are located on 993 UTM 10 by 10-km grid cells. Richness scores were divided into six colour-scale classes of approximately
equal size by number of grid cells, with maximum scores shown in red and minimum in blue, with white for zero scores. Source: Araújo, M. B. 1999. Distribution patterns of biodiversity and the design of a representative reserve network in Portugal. Diversity and Distributions 5: 151-163. |
