Linear regression of the frequency of genera (fGenera) against their respective species richness, revealing the fractal nature of terrestrial isopod taxonomy. The slope of the regression (1.14) gives the fractal dimension. Unit frequency values – genera with unique values of species richness – have been excluded in order to avoid a long queue of zeros that smoothens the slope only due to the fact that the size of large genera is more probable to be unique.
