Figure 2. Species richness for freshwater vertebrates in the Napo Basin. Species richness maps were obtained from the summation of the species distribution models of (A) all species, (B) amphibians, (C) birds, (D) mammals, (E) reptiles, and (F) fish. Main state protected areas in the Napo Basin are: Yasuní National Park (Y NP), Cuyabeno Faunistic Reserve (C FR), Cayambe Coca National Park (CC NP), Sumaco Napo-Galeras National Park (SN NP), Antisana Ecological Reserve (A ER), Colonso-Chalupas Biological Reserve (CC BR), and Llanganates National Park (L NP).
