| Schizoendemic taxa are vicariant endemics with identical chromosome numbers. |
|
| Most of the non-endemic species within this group have adapted to ruderal areas, while none of the endemics occupies this kind of habitat. |
|
| The spurfowl is one of the most difficult of the Sri Lanka endemics to see and this was the first nest I found. |
|
| Island populations and insular endemics thus appear to be especially vulnerable to extinction due to genetic factors. |
|
| This is in accordance with many previous studies, which have noted that endemics tend to be more susceptible to extinction than cosmopolitans. |
|
| Despite these recent studies, however, detailed investigations of the effects of fire on most scrub endemics have not been carried out. |
|
| Thus, low temperatures have led to selection for a high proportion of local endemics and species endemic to mountain peaks. |
|
| The endemics have been estimated to originate from about 120 successful original colonization events. |
|
| The plant communities of southern Appalachian wetlands include endemics that exist in the unique microhabitats of the region. |
|
| Most species of Metagentiana are herbaceous local endemics growing in alpine scrub, meadows and coniferous forests. |
|
| Similarly, when calculating extinction rates we distinguished between extinction of endemics, local extinction of cosmopolitans, and global extinction of cosmopolitans. |
|
| Hallam plotted the number of European Jurassic bivalve species against their estimated stratigraphic range without distinguishing between endemics and cosmopolitans. |
|
| These could be due to the fact that most of the non-endemic species within this group have adapted to ruderal areas, while none of the endemics occupies this kind of habitat. |
|
| Divided by geographic region, local experts describe the climate, geology and soils of each community as well as the flora and fauna with special attention to endemics. |
|
| They also reported that many of the limestone cedar glade endemics grow well under cultivation in a greenhouse mixture of calcareous topsoil and river sand. |
|
| Many endangered endemics of the Florida scrub are specialized for gaps. |
|
| The prairies of the central plains likewise contain few endemics. |
|
| There are 2,827 natives, 1,318 non-natives, and 228 endemics. |
|
| Some of the endemics may always have been rare, but most are suffering from the loss of habitat, owing to the creation of citrus groves and other forms of development. |
|
| Many rare scrub endemics are associated with mechanical disturbances to the soil such as fire lanes, plow lines, sandy roads and gopher tortoise burrows. |
|
|
|
| Island endemics arise frequently from mainland ancestors in many taxonomic groups, so large numbers of phylogenetically independent comparisons can be made. |
|
| Lake Titicaca hosts several endemics, among them the highly endangered Titicaca flightless grebe and Titicaca water frog. |
|
| With almost 200 described species, including more than 160 endemics, the center of diversity for aquatic freshwater oligochaetes is Lake Baikal. |
|
| Arianoutsou M, Rundel PW, Berry WL Serpentine endemics as biological indicators of soil elemental concentrations. |
|
| Bird species include approximately 100 endemics with the greatest variety on the large islands of Halmahera and Seram. |
|
| In terms of aquatic life, the Congo River Basin has a very high species richness, and among the highest known concentrations of endemics. |
|
| Several hydroelectric dams are planned on the river, and these may lead to the extinction of many of the endemics. |
|
| Of these, two troglobiont carabid beetles, a stygobiont asellid isopod, and a troglobiont chthoniid pseudoscorpion are site-specific endemics of southwestern Ohio caves. |
|
| Many California endemics have become endangered, as urbanization, logging, overgrazing, and the introduction of exotic species have encroached on their habitat. |
