Species, number of threatened species in each taxon; Counties, number of counties in the complementary subset; Area, percentage of the total U.S. landmass covered by the complementary subset; Power, index that expresses how well each group indicates endangered species richness in other groups; SE, standard error. Power values are means of 200 bootstrapping runs (data taken from Dobson et al. 1997, please see this reference for additional details.)
