Evol. 1998; 13: 275–280Abstract | Full Text | Full Text PDF | PubMed | Scopus (335)See all References][1]of biodiversity hotspots considers the potential value of having surrogate measures of species richness or endemism. It is evident that higher-taxon richness patterns can be combined to create even better

Do biodiversity hotspots match with rodent conservation hotspots?

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2011
Biodiversity hotspots are used widely to designate priority regions for conservation efforts. It is unknown, however, whether the current network of hotspots adequately represents globally threatened taxonomic diversity for whole plant and animal groups. We used a mammalian group traditionally neglected in terms of conservation efforts, the rodents, in

Tropical mountains as natural laboratories to study global changes: A long-term ecological research project in a megadiverse biodiversity hotspot

Perspectives in plant ecology, evolution and systematics, 2019
Campo rupestre is a megadiverse vegetation mosaic dominating one of the world’s geologically oldest tropical mountains. The campo rupestre hosts nearly 15% of Brazil’s flora, with 40% of endemism in an area smaller than 1% of the national territory. Here,

Biodiversity Hotspots in India

2018
India is one of the 17 megadiverse countries in the world, and there are four biodiversity hotspots found in India. These are Indo-Burma, Himalaya, Western Ghats-Sri Lanka, and Sundaland. For biological diversity point of view, India is very rich in resources due to its diversified habitat and climatic conditions.

Geoclimatic factors influence the population genetic connectivity of Incarvillea arguta (Bignoniaceae) in the Himalaya–Hengduan Mountains biodiversity hotspot

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, 2019
Geoclimatic factors related to the uplift of the Himalaya and the Quaternary climatic oscillations influence the population genetic connectivity in the Himalaya–Hengduan Mountains (HHM) biodiversity hotspot.

Wetland and Biodiversity Hotspot Conservation

2020
Wetland conservation is aimed at protecting and preserving areas where water exists (e.g., swamps, marshes, blogs, etc.). These wetlands make up 6% of the Earth's surface. Freshwater wetlands are utilised for cultivation of paddy, for basic water needs, for fishing, as a source of food by habitat loss, one main reason being anthropogenic activities ...

Human footprint in biodiversity hotspots

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2018
Natural ecosystems are disappearing at an increasing rate, and disappearing along with them is the immense biodiversity they contain. In addition to direct factors influencing the conversion of natural ecosystems to agriculture, international trade and consumption of products in wealthy countries have also been implicated as ...

DNA barcoding of shrimps from a mangrove biodiversity hotspot

Mitochondrial DNA. Part A, DNA mapping, sequencing, and analysis, 2019
A total of 74 shrimp specimens were sequenced at a 584 bp segment of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene to examine patterns of DNA barcode variation in a mangrove biodiversity hotspot. The Maximum Likelihood tree, barcode gap analysis, Automatic
