51-Class hierarchical clustering of ecoregions into biodiversity driver zones

Full Screen

Based on the most excellent dendrogram work of Mike Bostock leveraging d3, this shows the nested scales by which the ~10,000 global ecoregions combine in clusters that have similar drivers of species richness (land use intensity, climate, etc.). Data is from forthcoming work by Bill Morris on geographically-weighted regression and ecological segmentation; it would be “done” rather than “forthcoming” if Bill would spend less time on dataviz and more on writing his %$&#ing dissertation.
