A Plant‐Diversity Dark Spot at the Intersection of Three Biodiversity Hotspots: Environmental Drivers of Brassicaceae Richness in Türkiye

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Türkiye lies at the intersection of three global biodiversity hotspots yet is recognised as a global plant‐diversity "dark spot." Using > 15,000 georeferenced herbarium records and spatial regression models, we examined the environmental drivers of Brassicaceae species and endemic richness across the country. Species richness increased with topographic
