The second statistical analysis, which sorted Trochilidae species into 5° 'bins', shows a much clearer correlation between number of species present at specific latitudinal areas, Fig.5 shows a sudden decrease in diversity 10° away from the equator (approximately 1100km distance), this drop continues at a rapid rate until 30° away from the equator (approximately 3310km) where diversity loss plateaus and remains relatively constant with increased distance away from the equator.
