Drivers of spontaneous plant richness patterns in urban green space within a biodiversity hotspot

Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, 2021
Urban green space provides refuges for species that are unintentionally introduced by humans and which do not belong to the remnants of natural habitats in urban areas.

Testing the Efficacy of Global Biodiversity Hotspots for Insect Conservation: The Case of South African Katydids. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The use of endemism and vascular plants only for biodiversity hotspot delineation has long been contested. Few studies have focused on the efficacy of global biodiversity hotspots for the conservation of insects, an important, abundant, and often ignored

Comparative phylogeography in a marine biodiversity hotspot provides novel insights into evolutionary processes across the Atlantic‐Indian Ocean transition

Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2022
Intraspecific genetic variation is a key component of biodiversity, with higher diversity indicating greater resilience and population substructuring suggesting unique evolutionary histories.

Spatiotemporal maintenance of flora in the Himalaya biodiversity hotspot: Current knowledge and future perspectives

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Mountain ecosystems support a significant one‐third of all terrestrial biodiversity, but our understanding of the spatiotemporal maintenance of this high biodiversity remains poor, or at best controversial. The Himalaya hosts a complex mountain ecosystem

Mapping a super-invader in a biodiversity hotspot, an eDNA-based success story

Proceedings of 1st International Electronic Conference on Biological Diversity, Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The lesser Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean is known as a biodiversity hotspot, hosting many endemic species. However, recent introduction of a highly invasive species, the Australian Red Claw Crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus), has led to ...

Consequences of land-use change and the wildfire disaster of 2017 for the central Chilean biodiversity hotspot

Regional Environmental Change, 2021
Central Chile is an important biodiversity hotspot in Latin America. Biodiversity hotspots are characterised by a high number of endemic species cooccurring with a high level of anthropogenic pressure. In central Chile, the pressure is caused by land-use

Hotspots of Subterranean Biodiversity [PDF]

Diversity, 2020
Worldwide, caves and groundwater habitats harbor thousands of species modified and limited to subterranean habitats in karst. Data are concentrated in Europe and USA, where a number of detailed analyses have been performed. Much less is known with respect to global patterns due to a lack of data.

Environmental DNA in a Global Biodiversity Hotspot: Lessons from Coral Reef Fish Diversity Across the Indonesian Archipelago

bioRxiv, 2021
Indonesia is the heart of the Coral Triangle, the world’s most diverse marine ecosystem. Preserving the biological and economic value of this marine biodiversity requires efficient and economical ecosystem monitoring, yet our understanding of marine ...
