Finally, the Bird Life species distribution map created in raster shows how the trends seen in Fig.5 very well. As you can see in Fig. 6, the steep and rapid decline in diversity as you move further away from the equator, as was previously shown in Fig.5; the Bird Life data also allows us to examine the spatial distribution of the Trochilidae family better, and see that at 5° latitude, there are two regions (one on the east coast, and one of the west) that have large biodiversity, and that the steep decline in biodiversity seen in Fig.5 may be unfairly biased by the thin, winding shape of central America which appears to reduce biodiversity much closer to the equator than south America.
