Endemism Patterns of Planthoppers (Fulgoroidea) in China
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Studies on endemism are always of high interest in biogeography and contribute to better understanding of the evolution of species and making conservation plans.

Range-weighted branch length difference (RWiBaLD), a new method for distinguishing meso-endemism from neo-endemism and paleo-endemism. [PDF]
PLoS ONEOur goal is to enhance understanding of phylogenetic endemism (PE), which is studied using a range-weighted phylogenetic tree. We present a new method called Range Weighted Branch Length Difference (RWiBaLD), which is based on the difference between 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.

Endemism and regionalization patterns of squamate reptiles in Amazonia [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe world is keeping a close eye on Amazonia, due to its importance as a centre of biodiversity and its essential role in regulating global climate. To ensure the provision of climatic services, landscape and species diversity need protection.

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‐

Predictors of plant endemism in two west African forest hotspots
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Centres of endemism have been much studied by biogeographers, ecologists, and evolutionary theorists, and are considered conservation priorities. It is therefore important to understand the ecological traits of restricted range taxa, and the landscape ...

The living heart: Climate gradients predict desert mountain endemism
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Mountain regions are centers of biodiversity endemism at a global scale but the role of arid‐zone mountain ranges in shaping biodiversity patterns is poorly understood.
