Endemism analysis of Neotropical Pentatomidae (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) [PDF]
Iheringia: Série Zoologia, 2010 The definition of areas of endemism is central to studies of historical biogeography, and their interrelationships are fundamental questions. Consistent hypotheses for the evolution of Pentatomidae in the Neotropical region depend on the accuracy of the ...

Global increase in the endemism of birds from north to south [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsEndemism is a highly valuable metric for conservation because it identifies areas with irreplaceable species, ecological functions, or evolutionary lineages.

Global patterns of taxonomic and phylogenetic endemism in liverwort assemblages [PDF]
Plant DiversityExploring the worldwide patterns of endemism and the processes that lead to the formation of high-endemism centers is crucial in biogeography. This study examines the geographic distribution and ecological influences on the endemism of liverworts across ...

Spatial Patterns of Diversity in Forest Birds of Peninsular India [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionBiodiversity is structured via complex interactions among ecological, geological, and climatic processes. Regions with high heterogeneity in climate and topography are known to harbor fine‐scale patterns in diversity, which are often overlooked in global‐

Endemism patterns are scale dependent
Nature Communications, 2020 Endemism is an important metric for conservation, but it may be sensitive to the measurement approach. Here Daru et al analyze global datasets of birds and amphibians and show that both weighted and phylogenetic endemism are scale dependent, across grain

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2018 Using track analysis and cladistic biogeography, we identified areas of endemism of hummingbirds in the Andean and Neotropical regions. Our results point out that the current areas of endemism of hummingbirds occur in the Andes, Guiana Shield, the Lesser
