| Thus, low temperatures have led to selection for a high proportion of local endemics and species endemic to mountain peaks. |
| The plant communities of southern Appalachian wetlands include endemics that exist in the unique microhabitats of the region. |
| 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 endemics have been estimated to originate from about 120 successful original colonization events. |
| Most species of Metagentiana are herbaceous local endemics growing in alpine scrub, meadows and coniferous forests. |
| Many endangered endemics of the Florida scrub are specialized for gaps. |
