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.

Areas of endemism of two biogeographic provinces in central Mexico based on their endemic Asteraceae: a conservation proposal

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2021
The Transmexican Volcanic Belt (TVB) and the Balsas Basin (BB), situated in central Mexico, stand out for their species richness and endemism. Documenting patterns of distribution of endemism is relevant, since species restricted to an area may become ...

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.

Biogeographic analysis of the American genus Echeandia (Agavoideae: Asparagaceae)

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2021
Echeandia (Asparagaceae) is an American genus of herbaceous geophytes. Its distribution is heterogeneous but concentrates along the Mexican Transition Zone (MTZ). We analyzed the species richness distribution and endemism of the group.

Species diversity, hotspot congruence, and conservation of North American damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The rapid extinction of species is of considerable concern for biodiversity conservation. Identifying the drivers of species diversity and hotspots is beneficial for developing conservation strategies.

Distribution of freshwater fish from the Southern Neotropics reveals three new areas of endemism and show diffuse limits among freshwater ecoregions

Neotropical Ichthyology, 2021
Ecoregions and areas of endemism are central concepts in biogeography. Based on collection records and the Endemic Analyses implemented with NDM/VNDM method we analyzed fish areas of endemism in the junction of three freshwater ecoregions related to the ...

Species richness and endemism patterns of Sternorrhyncha (Insecta, Hemiptera) in China [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2023
One of the main goals in biogeography and ecology is the study of patterns of species diversity and the driving factors in these patterns. However, such studies have not focused on Sternorrhyncha in China, although this region hosts massive species ...

Spatial patterns of phylogenetic diversity and endemism in the Western Ghats, India: A case study using ancient predatory arthropods

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The Western Ghats (WG) mountain chain in peninsular India is a global biodiversity hotspot, one in which patterns of phylogenetic diversity and endemism remain to be documented across taxa. We used a well‐characterized community of ancient soil predatory

Biogeographic analysis of ferns and lycophytes in Oaxaca: A Mexican beta-diverse area

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2021
Background: Spatial patterns related to richness and endemism of Mexican ferns and lycophytes are not well known, particularly in highly biodiverse areas; among these, Oaxaca is considered a highly biodiverse Mexican state.

Land snail biogeography and endemism in south-eastern Africa: Implications for the Maputaland-Pondoland-Albany biodiversity hotspot.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Invertebrates in general have long been underrepresented in studies on biodiversity, biogeography and conservation. Boundaries of biodiversity hotspots are often delimited intuitively based on floristic endemism and have seldom been empirically tested ...
