The 51 pages that link to Endemism, each with the reason it gives.

• Hydrothermal ventRelated: Many vent species occur only in particular regions or geological settings.

• MadagascarRelated: Madagascar’s long isolation has made endemism exceptionally prominent.

• Endorheic basinRelated: Isolation among basin lakes can foster species found nowhere else.

• PaleobiogeographyRelated: Ancient endemic ranges can identify long-isolated regions and their distinctive histories.

• Biodiversity hotspotNarrower topic: Hotspot criteria count endemic plants as evidence of irreplaceable biological uniqueness.

• Atlantic ForestRelated: High endemism makes losses in Atlantic Forest remnants globally consequential.

• WallaceaRelated: Isolation has produced species found only on Wallacean islands.

• IslandRelated: Long isolation allows island species to evolve in place and occur nowhere else.

• Montane forestRelated: Mountain isolation and habitat variation can produce species found nowhere else.

• Oceanic islandRelated: Long isolation allows oceanic islands to develop species found nowhere else.

• Albertine RiftRelated: Isolation among rift mountains and valleys has fostered locally restricted species.

• Lake MalawiRelated: Many fish species evolved in the lake and occur nowhere else.

• Madagascar dry deciduous forestsRelated: Long isolation has produced many species restricted to Madagascar and its forests.

• VaquitaRelated: The vaquita’s confinement to one small gulf region makes it especially vulnerable.

• Amami IslandsRelated: Many characteristic Amami animals occur nowhere else in the wild.

• Juan Fernández IslandsRelated: Long isolation allowed many plants and animals to evolve only on this archipelago.

• Oceanic dispersalRelated: Limited arrivals and long isolation help produce distinctive island and marine endemics.

• New Zealand biogeographyRelated: High endemism is one of the clearest outcomes of New Zealand’s isolation.

• New Zealand subantarctic islandsRelated: Geographic isolation has produced species found nowhere beyond particular islands in the group.

• Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forestsRelated: Isolation and varied habitats produce many species found nowhere else.

• Lake BiwaNarrower topic: Lake Biwa’s long isolation has allowed species found nowhere else to evolve.

• Biogeographic realmRelated: Concentrations of endemic species help distinguish one realm from another.

• IndriRelated: The indri’s natural range is confined to Madagascar.

• MacaronesiaRelated: Long isolation has produced many species confined to individual Macaronesian islands.

• Mascarene IslandsRelated: Long isolation allowed many Mascarene species to evolve nowhere else.

• Mediterranean forestsRelated: Long isolation has produced many region-specific plants across the biome’s separate regions.

• Montane ecosystemRelated: Isolation among mountain ranges can produce species with exceptionally limited distributions.

• Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forestsRelated: Isolation among dry-forest regions has produced many locally restricted species.

• Acacia pycnanthaRelated: Golden wattle is native to southeastern Australia, though it has also been planted elsewhere.

• Green pheasantRelated: The green pheasant’s native range is confined to Japan.

• Ground rollerRelated: Ground rollers occur naturally only in Madagascar.

• Madagascar hissing cockroachRelated: The cockroach’s natural range is confined to Madagascar.

• Mount KinabaluRelated: Isolation and elevation have helped produce species endemic to Kinabalu and its surroundings.

• PupfishRelated: Many pupfish species occur naturally in just one spring, lake, or basin.

• SolenodonRelated: Each living solenodon species is restricted to a Caribbean island.

• Blue-eared pheasantRelated: The blue-eared pheasant’s natural range is limited to central China.

• Cerro SarisariñamaRelated: Surveying the summit helps establish which organisms occur nowhere else.

• Cherax pulcherRelated: C. pulcher’s known origin in West Papua makes the extent of its range consequential.

• CouaRelated: Coua’s natural range is confined to Madagascar.

• Cuckoo-rollerRelated: The cuckoo-roller’s limited island distribution makes it a distinctive part of regional biodiversity.

• Desventuradas IslandsRelated: Isolation has helped produce plant and animal species found nowhere else in the group.

• GeobotanyRelated: Mapping endemic plants helps identify regions of distinctive botanical significance.

• Lake islandRelated: Isolation can allow distinctive species to evolve on lake islands.
