Collection statistics :: Families

The graph shows the number of species in bird families and the fraction represented in xeno-canto. The horizontal blue line indicates the overall fraction of species represented. The other two blue lines enclose an area in which the fractions for specific families do not differ significantly from that average. Green symbols indicate families that are represented better than average, red symbols indicate families that are poorly represented. The table shows the same data, with the same colour coding.
