“…Ferrari et al. (), for example, showed that no area was delimited in poorly sampled regions of their data, which was different from our findings. On the other hand, critics might argue that a well‐sampled region with uniformly distributed points could complete a pattern of gradual substitution, for example, resulting in fewer areas.…”

The concept of areas of endemism (AoEs) has rarely been discussed in the literature, even though the use of methods to ascertain them has recently increased. We introduce a grid-based protocol for delimiting AoEs using alternative criteria for the recognition of AoEs that are empirically tested with harvestmen species distributions in the Atlantic Rain Forest. Our data, comprising 778 records of 123 species, were analysed using parsimony analysis of endemicity and endemicity analysis on four different grids (two cell sizes and two cell placements). Additionally, we employed six qualitative combined criteria for the delimitation of AoEs and applied them to the results of the numerical analyses in a new protocol to objectively delimit AoEs. Twelve AoEs (the most detailed delimitation of the Atlantic Rain Forest so far) were delimited, partially corroborating the main divisions previously established in the literature. The results obtained with the grid-based methods were contradictory and were plagued by artefacts, probably due to the existence of different endemism patterns in one cell or to a biogeographical barrier set obliquely to latitudinal and longitudinal axes, for example. Consequently, the congruence patterns found by them should not be considered alone; qualitative characteristics of species and clade distributions and abiotic factors should be evaluated together. Mountain slopes are the main regions of endemism, and large river valleys are the main divisions. Refuges, marine transgressions and tectonic activity seem to have played an important role in the evolution of the Atlantic Rain Forest.

“…The higher the number of endemic species in the area and the higher the endemicity of those species, the more likely it is for a group of cells to be considered an "area of endemism" (Szumik & Goloboff 2004). Nowadays, this programme is widely used (Ferrari et al 2010;Mendoza-Fernández et al 2014). The information was obtained from 10×10 km grid cells.…”

“…Studies using arthropod data for the definition of AEs in the AF and/or Neotropical region usually focus on few taxa (Sigrist & Carvalho, 2008) and/or in very specific taxa (Lowenberg-Neto & Carvalho, 2009;Ferrari et al, 2010;DaSilva et al, 2015;Oliveira et al, 2015).…”

An analysis of endemicity (NDM/VNDM) based on 6541 records from 791 species of arthropods was conducted aiming to delimitate areas of endemism (AEs) in the Atlantic Forest (Brazil). Nine analyses were run employing different analytical parameters of grid size and data extrapolation of species distribution, and their effects on the results were observed. The present study is the first to employ an analysis of sensitivity with UPGMA (unweighted pair group method with arithmatic mean) as a metaconsensus criterion to compare and select AEs resulting from analyses of endemicity with different analytical parameters. In total, 724 AEs grouped into 313 consensus areas were identified. With the metaconsensus criterion, 29 groups of areas were defined, most of them coinciding with the areas obtained in other studies, which confirms that the metaconsus criterion is a clear and objective method for comparing and selecting AEs. The results of the present imply that species of arthorpods respond differently to events and, moreover, that the geographical/ climate features usually employed to explain distributional patterns of other taxa do not uniformly affect all species included in the study. The AEs identified in the present study represent a major advance in the search for quantitative distribution patterns in the Atlantic Rainforest, contributing to studies of historical biogeography and other approaches related to the conservation.
