At a time when historical biogeography appears to be again expanding its scope after a
period of focusing primarily on discerning area relationships using cladograms, new …

We investigate the relative importance of stochastic and environmental/topographic effects
on the occurrence of avian centres of endemism, evaluating their potential historical …

The grid-based method to identify areas of endemism proposed by Szumik et al.(Syst. Biol.
51: 806–816, 2002) is extended. The improvements include the ability to assign scores of …

Aim To test predictions of the vicariance model, to define basic biogeographical units for
Cerrado squamates, and to discuss previous biogeographical hypotheses. Location …

Aim To develop an approach for assessing the spatial scale of centres of endemism among
species level data. Location Australia. Methods Endemism is inherently scale dependent …

El endemismo es un concepto comúnmente usado para identificar a taxones nativos o
grupos biológicos con área de distribución restringida. Sin embargo, el endemismo tiene …

One of the recurrent themes in historical biogeography relates to the units of analysis, their
definition and identification. Although areas of endemism are usually accepted as the …

Biotic element analysis is an alternative to the areas-of-endemism approach for recognizing
the presence or absence of vicariance events in a given region. If an ancestral biota was …

The current concept of areas of endemism assumes that they are geographic areas where
there is spatial congruence of at least two endemic taxa. When this congruence is non …

In order to test Mexican areas of endemism of mammals identified by previous parsimony
analyses of endemicity (PAEs), we applied the optimality criterion to three data matrices …
