Endemism

Endemism is relatively low except for avifauna, which includes the species buffy hummingbird (Leucippus fallax) and chesnut piculet (Picumnus cinnamomeus).

Lara-Falcón dry forests 2008

Endemism is high due to the isolation of this dry forest; this region contains 10 of the 14 endemic cacti of the Yucatán peninsula.

Yucatán dry forests 2008

Endemism is high in all living organisms on these islands from lichens, flowering plants, insects and land snails to finches, giant tortoises, iguanas and rats.

Galápagos Islands xeric scrub 2007

Endemism at higher levels is also exceptional, with 205 plant genera and one plant family, the Goetziaceae, found nowhere else on Earth.

Anguilla 2009

Endemism exceeds 90% and the degree of adaptive radiation and speciation within the lake is remarkable, particularly among the Cichlidae (mbuna, rockfish).

Lake Malawi National Park, Malawi 2009

It is representative of the Afromontane Centre of Plant Endemism and the northern sector is rich in species of the Guineo-Congolian flora.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda 2009

Endemism in the vascular flora of the Juan Fernández Islands.

Biological diversity in the Chilean winter rainfall-valdivian forests 2009

Endemism is lower in the Southern Rift, with perhaps only 100 species endemic.

Biological diversity in the Eastern Afromontane 2009

Endemism levels for both reptiles and amphibians are high.

Biological diversity in the Chilean winter rainfall-valdivian forests 2009

Endemism rates in flowering plants are extremely high (90%) because of geographic isolation.
