Selection of priority areas in Legal Amazon for conservation at three resolutions, based on distribution data for primates.

<p><b>Resolution</b> gives the size of the grid cells. <b>Approach</b> gives the approach to classifying grid cells as reserves (B takes only strict use reserves into account, C uses strict use and sustainable use reserves, and D uses strict use, sustainable use and indigenous lands). Under <b>Existing Protected Areas</b>, <b>N</b> gives the number of grid cells classified as existing reserves on the basis that they contain at least 11,570 ha of existing reserves, and <b>P</b> gives the proportion that these represent of the total grid cells in Legal Amazon. Under <b>Primate Species</b>, <b>N</b> gives the number of primate species occurring in these grid cells, and <b>P</b> gives the proportion that these represent of all Amazonian primate species. Under <b>Random Networks</b>, <b>N</b> gives the number of randomly selected networks that protected more species than the existing reserve network, and <b>P</b> gives the proportion relative to 10.000 (which is the total number of random networks selected).
