We are grateful to members of the Système d'Aires Protégées de Madagascar (SAPM) for facilitating the comparative work and for support from the MacArthur Foundation (grant no. 06-86791 to C.K.). The study was devised by C.K. and A.C. A.C. and C.K. conducted the analyses. A.M., S.J.P., and C.D.T. provided expert input on analytical methods and interpretation. R.J.H. and G.J.H. prepared environmental layers. A.C., H.B., J.D., B.L.F., F.G., T.C.G., C.K., D.C.L., E.L., R.A.N., C.J.R., G.E.S., M.V., D.R.V., P.C.W., and M.L.Z. contributed biodiversity data and evaluated species distribution models and Zonation solutions for their taxa. A.R. conducted the geographic information system (GIS) analyses to produce the SAPM priority map (Fig. 2B, black outlines). C.K. and A.C. wrote the initial draft of the manuscript; all authors commented on subsequent drafts.
