Fig.4: Distributions of patch sizes for the different taxonomic groups analyzed in this study. Herptiles: 111 patches; mammals: 192 patches; birds: 262 patches; invertebrates: 524 patches; plants: 101 patches. Vertical dotted lines represent examples of three widely adopted thresholds for the smallest patch size considered to have conservation value (i.e., 1000 ha, 10,000 ha and 50,000 ha; reviewed in Fahrig et al. 2022).
