Areas of endemism (AoE) comprise regions host to two or more endemic taxa, whose
distributional limits are congruent and not random. These areas are important for two …

We are entering the sixth mass extinction with little data for “dark taxa”, although they
comprise most species. Much of the neglect is due to the fact that conventional taxonomic …

Aim Vicariance has often been invoked to explain bioregionalization patterns in the
Neotropics. Using a revised point locality data for endemic species, we aimed to test for the …

We assessed the geographic distribution of amphibians and reptiles occurring in the
Uruguayan Savanna ecoregion (USE) to find shared distribution patterns, in order to identify …

Using Lauraceae as a study case, we aimed in this article to:(i) delimit areas of endemism in
the Espinhaço Range, Brazil;(ii) compare these areas of endemism with those previously …

Geographical patterns in microorganisms' distribution is a matter of intense debate.
Following the assumption that “everything is everywhere”(EiE hypothesis), it is expected that …

A total of 286 male specimens of Manota from 38 different collecting sites in the Brazilian
Atlantic Forest were analysed. They belong to 32 different species, including 20 described …

In the last decade, a method widely used to delimit areas of endemism is the analysis of
endemicity (AE), a non‐hierarchical and grid‐dependent algorithm implemented through the …

The type of Elettaria brasiliensis was discovered at the herbarium in Pisa. The Italian
naturalist Giuseppe Raddi collected this in Brazil in 1818 and published the name in 1828 …

Abstract The Brazilian Atlantic forest is a tropical rainforest recognized as a hotspot of
biodiversity, with high species richness and endemicity. This forest extends over a wide …
