DOI: 10.1007/s10457-020-00557-8
Abstract: Tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) under natural disturbances have shown high endemism in early successional vegetation. However, little is known about anthropogenic disturbances and plant endemism in TMCF under ancient agricultural management. In this sense,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2018.04.005
Abstract: Abstract The banded ironstone formation (BIF) ranges of south-western Australia are prominent landforms in a flat landscape and host a diverse flora. Plant diversity is expected to have a positive relationship with environmental heterogeneity in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pld.2020.09.001
Abstract: Previous attempts to elucidate the drivers of speciation mechanisms and spatial distribution patterns of biodiversity in mountain regions have treated different floras within a single geological region as one flora, ignoring the potential contributions of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/08912963.2022.2060098
Abstract: ABSTRACT The family Palaeotheriidae (Perissodactyla, Equoidea) was one of the most abundant and successful Eocene mammalian groups from western Europe. Equoid perissodactyls were diverse in the Iberian Peninsula, with the presence of six genera and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcw178
Abstract: Background and Aims Earth’s climate is dynamic, with strong glacial–interglacial cycles through the Late Quaternary. These climate changes have had major consequences for the distributions of species through time, and may have produced historical legacies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcw248
Abstract: Background Centres of endemism have received much attention from evolutionists, biogeographers, ecologists and conservationists. Climatic stability is often cited as a major reason for the occurrences of these geographic concentrations of species which are not… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcx107
Abstract: Background and Aims The biodiversity hotspot of New Caledonia is globally renowned for the diversity and endemism of its flora. New Caledonia's tropical rainforests have been reported to have higher stem densities, higher concentrations of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biosci/biac085
Abstract: Abstract Wallacea—the meeting point between the Asian and Australian fauna—is one of the world's largest centers of endemism. Twenty-three million years of complex geological history have given rise to a living laboratory for the study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16628
Abstract: Endemic species and species with small ranges are ecologically and evolutionarily distinct and are vulnerable to extinction. Determining which abiotic and biotic factors structure patterns of endemism on continents can advance our understanding of global… read more here.
