The genus Paeonia (Paeoniaceae) includes perennial plants distributed throughout the northern hemisphere and some of these are used in traditional medicine cultivated as ornamental species. broteri is endemic to Iberian Peninsula current paper first report on a pharmacognostic survey its roots, leaves corresponding powders. Using light scanning electron microscopy, simple compound polyhedral st...

Mountains encompass more than 30% of all land and 23% the Earth’s forests, with high levels biodiversity endemism, they support diverse habitats refuges for approximately 85% amphibian, bird, mammal species [...]

Geobotanical assessment of taxa with a high percentage of richness and endemism plays an important role on conservation plans. South-West Asia is one of the main biodiversity centers of the genus Onosma (Boraginaceae) comprising a high rate of species richness and endemism in Iran. Due to existing threatened factors to habitats and lack of sufficient data on conservation and distribution patter...

Conservation of biological diversity is one the most important issues in conservation biology, so a wide range quantitative spatial methods have been used to determine biodiversity hotspots and priority areas. The main aims present study are determining areas endemism as well centers genus Onosma based on GIE, IPAs, species richness, AZE-like criteria approaches, assess status priorities mentio...

the invertebrate communities of the northern chilean rivers are characterised by their marked endemism andspecificity of their community structure in different basins. the river systems located in the atacama desert are endorheicand are affected by the rainy period of january-february commonly known as the “bolivian winter“. the present study isthe first report on the observations of arthropods...

Abstract Understanding biodiversity of plants depends on detailed knowledge floristics and environmental parameters. According to the Flora Ethiopia Eritrea (FEE; 1989–2009), latest academic flora these two topographically complex countries, number taxa (including non-indigenous ones) is 6027 which 647 are endemic. Since 2009, 56 indigenous have been described from FEE area. Based data later in...

Aim There is little consensus on which environmental variables are best at predicting multiple dimensions of diversity. We ask whether there common correlates diversity, despite ecological differences, across nine clades plants and animals distributed along a single rainforest domain. For that, we compare the species richness, phylogenetic endemism. Location Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Taxon:Fiv...
