The figure below displays all conservation gap analysis scores per Vitis taxon, with ex situ conservation scores shown as circles, in situ conservation scores shown as triangles, and the combined (FCSc-mean) score as a diamond. The scores are used to categorize taxa, with urgent priority (UP) for further conservation action assigned when score < 25, high priority (HP) where 25 ≤ score < 50, medium priority (MP) where 50 ≤ score < 75, and low priority (LP) for taxa whose score ≥75. Hover over features to see the scores. Click the objects at the bottom of the figures to turn on and off elements on the figure.
The table below displays conservation gap analysis results per assessed taxon. Results of the conservation assessments within each conservation format [Sampling Representativeness Score ex situ (SRS ex situ), Geographic Representativeness Score ex situ (GRS ex situ), and Ecological Representativeness Score ex situ (ERS ex situ) for ex situ; and Sampling Representativeness Score in situ (SRS in situ), Geographic Representativeness Score in situ (GRS in situ) and Ecological Representativeness Score in situ (ERS in situ) for in situ] are displayed. The Combined Final Conservation Score (FCSc-mean) is the average of the final ex situ (FCS ex situ) and in situ (FCS in situ) scores. The scores are used to categorize taxa, with urgent priority (UP) for further conservation action assigned when score < 25, high priority (HP) where 25 ≤ score < 50, medium priority (MP) where 50 ≤ score < 75, and low priority (LP) for taxa whose score ≥75.

Displayed maps, projected at 2.5 arc minutes resolution here, may not precisely reflect conservation gap analysis scores, which were based on maps at 30 arc seconds resolution.
The figure above displays the predicted taxonomic richness map for the assessed taxa, combining 36 potential distribution models. Darker colors indicate greater numbers of taxa potentially overlapping in the same areas.
The figure above displays predicted collecting priority hotspots to
resolve geographic gaps in current ex situ conservation. The
map displays richness of geographic areas within the potential
distributions of the assessed taxa that have not been previously
collected for ex situ conservation (i.e., areas not within 50
km of an existing germplasm collection location). Darker colors indicate
greater numbers of taxa potentially overlapping in the same areas.
The figure above displays predicted collecting priority hotspots to resolve ecological gaps in current ex situ conservation. The map displays richness of ecoregions within the potential distributions of the assessed taxa that have not been previously collected for ex situ conservation. Darker colors indicate greater numbers of taxa potentially overlapping in the same areas.
The figure above displays predicted habitat protection
priorities to resolve geographic gaps in current in situ
conservation. The map displays richness of geographic areas within the
potential distributions of the assessed taxa that are outside of current
protected areas. Darker colors indicate greater numbers of taxa
potentially overlapping in the same areas.
This table below lists protected areas overlapping with the potential distributions of four or more taxa. The total number of taxa potentially present in the protected area, based on potential distributions, is shown in the Total Taxa column. A full list of protected areas can be found at the following link.
The figure above displays predicted habitat protection priorities to resolve ecological gaps in current in situ conservation. The map displays richness of ecoregions within the potential distributions of the assessed taxa that are not represented at all within current protected areas within those potential distributions. Darker colors indicate greater numbers of taxa potentially overlapping in the same areas.
Ex situ: The Sampling Representativeness Score ex situ (SRS ex situ) calculates the ratio of germplasm accessions (G) available in ex situ repositories to reference/voucher/herbarium (H) records for each taxon, making use of all compiled records irrespective of whether they include coordinates.
In situ: The Sampling Representativeness Score in situ (SRS in situ) calculates the proportion of all occurrences of a taxon within its native range that fall within a protected area.
Ex situ: The Geographic Representativeness Score ex situ (GRS ex situ) uses 50-km-radius buffers created around each G collection coordinate point to estimate geographic areas already well collected within the potential distribution models of each taxon and then calculates the proportion of the potential distribution model covered by these buffers.
In situ: The Geographic Representativeness Score in situ (GRS in situ) compares the area (in km2) of the potential distribution model located within protected areas versus the total area of the model.
Ex situ: The Ecological Representativeness Score ex situ (ERS ex situ) calculates the proportion of terrestrial ecoregions represented within the G buffered areas out of the total number of ecoregions occupied by the potential distribution model.
In situ: The Ecological Representativeness Score in situ (ERS in situ) calculates the proportion of ecoregions encompassed within the range of the taxon located inside protected areas to the ecoregions encompassed within the total area of the potential distribution model.
Ex situ: The Final Conservation Score ex situ (FCS ex situ) was derived by calculating the average of the three ex situ conservation metrics.
In situ: The Final Conservation Score in situ (FCS in situ) was derived by calculating the average of the three in situ conservation metrics.
FCSc-mean: The Combined Final Conservation Score (FCSc-mean) was calculated for each taxon by averaging its final FCS ex situ and FCS in situ scores.
Taxa were further categorized with regard to the two conservation strategies as well as in combination, with Urgent Priority (UP) for further conservation action assigned when FCS < 25, High Priority (HP) assigned when 25 ≤ FCS < 50, Medium Priority (MP) when 50 ≤ FCS < 75, and Low Priority (LP) when FCS ≥75.
Occurrences: The total number of observations and ex situ collections records for the taxon that were evaluated for use within the study.
Occurrences with lat/long: The total number of observations that had a valid latitude and longitude pair and were used for spatial analysis. Non-valid latitude longitude pairs included but were not limited to points not on land masses, and records with only one of the two values present.
Germplasm Records (G): Occurrences in which a living sample (typically a live plant or seed) is present in an ex situ conservation system (i.e., botanical garden, seed bank, genebank, etc.).
Reference/voucher Records (H): Occurrences that have a supporting herbarium or other reference record.
Unique Data Sources: The number of unique database sources from which occurrences of the taxon were gathered.
