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.
