Areas of endemism in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest based on the distribution of dung beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Scarabaeinae) [PDF]
Iheringia: Série Zoologia, 2020 Our goals were to determine whether the pattern of geographical distribution of dung beetles in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF), Southeast Brazil, supports the identification of the areas of endemism in this biome, how the number and boundaries of ...

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.

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 ...

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

Patterns of Richness and Endemism in the Gypsicolous Flora of Mexico
Diversity, 2023 Gypsum soils occur around the world, mainly in arid regions. These harsh environments promote unusual flora with high degrees of endemism. Mexico has extensive gypsum outcrops, but their flora has been poorly studied.

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.
