Proportion of threatened freshwater species (decapod crustaceans, fishes and odonates; combined and individually) and extinct freshwater species (combined) using each wetland habitat. The darker cells indicate a greater proportion of species using the habitat. Habitats are not mutually exclusive. Habitats are coded following the IUCN Habitats Classification Scheme (version 3.1) as follows: permanent rivers (5.1); permanent lakes (5.5); seasonal rivers (5.2); permanent pools (5.7); bogs and marshes, among others (5.4); seasonal pools (5.8); springs and oases (5.9); karst (5.18); seasonal lakes (5.6); other wetlands (5.3, 5.10, 5.11 and 5.12); and saline, brackish or alkaline (5.14, 5.15, 5.16 and 5.17). For the number of species: threatened freshwater species n = 4,255, extinct freshwater species n = 100, threatened decapods n = 484, threatened fishes n = 3,071 and threatened odonates n = 700. In panels a , b , threatened species include those assessed as critically endangered (including those flagged as possibly extinct and possibly extinct in the wild), endangered or vulnerable. Extinct freshwater species include those assessed as extinct or extinct in the wild.
