Appendix S2 Graphical comparison of topographical complexity

The following panels illustrate topographic complexity for each of the four transects included in the analysis of transitions in species composition. Raster maps are colour-coded (on individual scales) by elevation (masl) at approximately 1 km resolution (Hijmans et al. 2005). The marginal plots along the x and y axes show the mean elevation for raster columns and rows, respectively. The location of the transects within the context of Australia is shown in Fig. 1 of the main text.
