Proportion of hotspots of threatened and endemic evolutionary history protected in two conservation scenarios. Each graph represents the proportion of HEDGE, BED and Expected PDloss hotspots protected. Red bars correspond to the degree of protection if all protected areas are included and blue bars the degree of protection if only protected areas of categories I, II and IV are included. Star symbols correspond to the frequency to which the proportion of hotspots protected was higher than if priority grid cells were distributed randomly (FPA): no star means FPA ≤ 0.25; * means 0.25 < FPA ≤ 0.75; **0.75 < FPA ≤ 1. We ran analysis for a a scenario of minimum protection in which hotspots were safe if they intersected at least one protected area; b a scenario of strong protection where a site was considered safe if it was protected on more than half of its area
