DBSCAN and GIE, Two Density-Based “Grid-Free” Methods for Finding Areas of Endemism: A Case Study of Flea Beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) in the Afrotropical Region [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Areas of endemism (AoEs) are a central area of research in biogeography. Different methods have been proposed for their identification in the literature.

Delimiting areas of endemism through kernel interpolation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We propose a new approach for identification of areas of endemism, the Geographical Interpolation of Endemism (GIE), based on kernel spatial interpolation. This method differs from others in being independent of grid cells.

Phylogenetic endemism of the orchids of Megamexico reveals complementary areas for conservation
Plant Diversity, 2022 Orchid diversity provides a unique opportunity to further our understanding of biotic and abiotic factors linked to patterns of richness, endemism, and phylogenetic endemism in many regions. However, orchid diversity is consistently threatened by illegal

Amphibian areas of endemism: A conservation priority in the threatened Mexican cloud forest [PDF]
Vertebrate Zoology, 2022 Amphibians of the Mexican Cloud Forest have a great diversity but are highly threatened. Forest endemisms are useful for recognizing biodiversity hotspots; furthermore, the interaction of historical and current events has generated areas of endemism that
