“…The following provisional revision contains 19 regions and 36 sub-regions that cover the entire Australian continent and surrounding waters. Hampton Ladiges et al 2005 The taxonomy and area nomenclature follows the recommended hierarchy set out in the ICAN (Ebach et al 2008). In addition, following the notion of priority, existing names are used in favour of new names for regions.…”

“…Our aim in this work is to rationalise these areas and propose a provisional area classification, which we name the Australian Bioregionalisation Atlas. The Atlas diagnoses, describes and accurately maps all known named areas based on an area naming system: the International Code of Area Nomenclature (ICAN, Ebach et al 2008). With incorporation of ICAN criteria, the Atlas proposed in this work provides a classificatory framework for accommodating existing and newly named areas.…”

The large number, definition, varied application and validity of named Australian biogeographical regions reflect their ad hoc development via disparate methods or case study idiosyncracies. They do not represent a coherent system. In order to resolve these uncertainties an Australian Bioregionalisation Atlas is proposed as a provisional hierarchical classification, accounting for all known named areas. This provisional area taxonomy includes a diagnosis, description, type locality and map for each named area within the Australian continent, as well as a first-ever area synonymy. Akin to biological classifications, this Atlas seeks to provision universality, objectivity and stability, such that biogeographers, macroecologists and geographers, can test existing areas as well as proposing novel areas. With such a formalised and comparative system in place, practitioners can analyse the definition and relationships of biotic areas, and putatively minimise ad hoc explanations.

“…The concept followed here for an area of endemism is that of a geographic region that includes the distributions of two or more monophyletic taxa with phylogenetic and distributional congruence (Harold & Mooi, 1994). Areas of endemism have several attributes: they have a single history, they are smaller than the entire study area, they do not overlap with other areas of endemism, they host at least two taxa with ranges restricted to the area and they are maximally congruent (Linder, 2001;Szumik et al, 2004;Ebach et al, 2008).…”

As a megadiverse country, Mexico harbors 4 to 8% of the flora of the world and of this, 51% is endemic. There is concern because several factors are impeding its conservation. In this paper, areas of endemism for the flowering plants of Mexico are identified to prioritize regions for conservation. To categorize zones for preservation, the approach followed takes biodiversity, weighted endemism and evolutionary history into account. Lineages of angiosperms, families, genera, and formal or informal groups within genera previously retrieved as monophyletic are selected to represent evolutionary history in equivalent spatial units. A database with 9416 entries based on specimens of species belonging to 259 monophyletic groups of angiosperms from Mexico was compiled, and their presence-absence recorded for every unit area. Species richness and weighted endemism index was calculated for each of these units. The results indicate that the majority of the regions with the highest indices of endemism have a dry climate with xeric vegetation, with the exception of two areas of tropical and temperate forests. They are: the northeastern rosette scrub in Nuevo León and Coahuila, gypsum grasslands in San Luis Potosí, the Sierra Gorda in Queréraro, Tolantongo in Hidalgo, the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Valley in Puebla and Oaxaca, El Salto in Durango, Sierra de Quila in Jalisco, a western portion of the Balsas River Basin in Michoacán, Guerrero, Morelos and State of Mexico, the Tehuantepec area in Oaxaca, the Central Depression of Chiapas and El Triunfo in Chiapas. Some of the areas of endemism in the Chihuahuan Desert, Balsas River Basin, the Central Depression of Chiapas and the southern area of Oaxaca are not sufficiently protected. Approximately 340 species Acta Botanica Mexicana 100: 293-315 (2012) 294 were microendemic, i.e. restricted to a single quadrat, and the Cactaceae account for the majority of the species on the Mexican Red List.Key words: Cactaceae, Chihuahuan Desert, endemism, Mega-Mexico, xeric vegetation. RESUMENMéxico está considerado como uno de los países megadiversos y en su territorio se encuentran entre 4 y 8% del número de total de especies de plantas del mundo, de las cuales 51% son endémicas. Existe una gran preocupación sobre la conservación de la flora mexicana, ya que se han detectado varias actividades y factores que la amenazan. En este trabajo se identifican áreas de endemismo para las angiospermas de México con el objetivo de priorizar regiones para conservación. Para categorizar estas zonas se sigue el enfoque que toma en cuenta la biodiversidad, el índice de endemismo ponderado y la historia evolutiva. Se identificaron los linajes de angiospermas, ya sean familias, géneros, o grupos infragenéricos con o sin estatus taxonómico que previamente se habían determinado como monofiléticos para representar la historia evolutiva en unidades espaciales equivalentes.

“…El mapa de cada área de endemismo se obtuvo uniendo los mapas de distribución de los taxones endémicos que la soportaron. Las áreas obtenidas fueron contrastadas con la propuesta de regionalización biogeográfica para la región Neotropical de Morrone (2014a) y se le asignaron nombres de acuerdo con la correspondencia encontrada para evitar crear nuevos nombres (Ebach et al, 2008). Las áreas identificadas que incluyeron dos o más unidades biogeográficas se denominaron como "uniones", mientras que las áreas identificadas que se encuentran entre dos unidades biogeográficas se denominaron "transiciones" (Ferro y Morrone, 2014).…”

RESUMENLa identificación de las áreas de endemismo es un paso fundamental en los análisis de biogeografía evolutiva. Las áreas de endemismo han sido definidas por la congruencia de dos o más áreas de distribución, en donde se asume de manera general que los taxones endémicos tienen una respuesta geográfica similar a factores históricos y ambientales. Los mamíferos tienen alta diversidad en el Neotrópico y muchos de ellos han evolucionado en conjunto con esta región biogeográfica. Sin embargo, hay pocas hipótesis de áreas de endemismo que puedan ser relacionadas con la evolución de los mamíferos en el Neotrópico. En este estudio se identificaron las áreas de endemismo de los mamíferos neotropicales a partir del análisis de una matriz de 2052 taxones (familias, géneros y especies). Para ello se aplicó una búsqueda de áreas de endemismo con el método de Análisis de Endemicidad a una cuadrícula de 2° latitud-longitud. Se identificaron 101 áreas de endemismo y 498 taxones endémicos, las áreas coincidieron parcialmente con 65 patrones biogeográficos identificados por otros autores. La región Neotropical está compuesta por nueve áreas de endemismo y mostró múltiples límites, que sugieren un patrón dinámico. Se identificaron dos áreas complejas de intercambio biótico que coincidieron con las zonas de transición Mexicana y Sudamericana. La congruencia de las áreas de endemismo de mamíferos con otros esquemas biogeográficos sugiere que estas áreas han sido formadas tanto por factores históricos como ecológicos. Por otra parte, las incongruencias de las áreas de endemismo soportan un sistema biogeográfico no jerarquizado.Palabras clave: biogeografía, distribución, diversidad, endemismo, evolución, Neotrópico. ABSTRACTThe identification of areas of endemism is an essential step in analyses of evolutionary biogeography. Areas of endemism have been defined by the congruency of two or more distributional areas, where there is a general assumption that the endemic taxa have a similar geographic response to historical and environmental factors. Mammals are highly diverse in the Neotropics, and most of them have evolved together with that biogeographical region. However, there are few hypotheses of areas of endemism that may be related with the evolution of the mammals in the Neotropics. We analyzed a matrix of 2052 taxa (families, genera and species) to identify the areas of endemism of the Neotropical mammals. The search of areas of endemism was performed using the Analysis of Endemicity method in a grid of 2° latitude -longitude. The analysis resulted in 101 areas and 498 endemic taxa, the areas partially matched with 65 biogeographical patterns previously identified by other authors. The Neotropical region is composed of nine areas of endemism and showed multiples boundaries, these characteristics suggest a dynamic pattern. Two complex areas of biotic interchange corresponded with the Mexican and Southamerican transitional zones. On one side, the congruence of areas of endemism of mammals with other biogeographical patterns s...
