  1. Some articles mapped multiple species from different classes and kingdoms, making the total number of articles for each kingdom different to the sum of the articles for each class. The number of articles that mapped a conservation priority area have been denoted as: the number of articles in which the pre-calculated priority area was used as a proxy for population presence (outside parentheses) followed by the total number of papers in which the priority area was mapped, (i.e. including those where other evidence for population presence were also used, inside parentheses)
