Endemism is the state of a species being found only in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. [1]

As a consequence, Hawai'i is home to a large number of endemic species. The radiation of species described by Charles Darwin in the Galapagos Islands which was critical to the formulation of his theory of evolution is far exceeded in the more isolated Hawaiian Islands.

Endemism is an ecological word meaning that a plant or animal lives only in a particular location, such as a specific island, habitat type, nation or other defined zone. For example, many species of lemur are endemic to the island of Madagascar. There are two types of endemism - paleoendemism and neoendemism.

A Centre of Endemism is an area in which the ranges of restricted-range species overlap, [1] or a localised area which has a high occurrence of endemics. [2] Centres of endemism may overlap with biodiversity hotspots which are biogeographic regions characterized both by high levels of plant endemism and by serious levels of habitat loss .

2019年10月4日 · Endemism is an ecological classification in that it describes the range or distribution of a species, or group of species. For instance, entire families of different species of birds are endemic to the island of Madagascar.

Endemism means the confinement of a particular species, genus, or groups of plants and animals to a particular area. Taxa occurring only a single restricted geographical area is known as endemics, Endemism normally applied only where there is …

2024年8月6日 · Endemism refers to the state where a species is exclusively found within a specific geographic area, such as an island, country, or a distinct ecological zone. For example, the Cape sugarbird, native solely to southwestern South Africa, exemplifies endemism, as it is found only in this specific region.

特有種 （英語： endemic species，指 特有性 之現象或性質，英文為 endemism）是指「因 歷史 、 生態 或 生理 因素等原因，造成其分布僅侷限於某一特定的地理區域或 大陸，而未在其他地方中出現」的物種 [1]。 有些特有種原來就起源於該地區，這些物種因此又可以稱為該地區的 固有種 或土著種，比如說 無尾熊 和 紅袋鼠，都僅產於 澳洲，而未在世界上的其他地方發現過，因此兩 …

2018年5月8日 · endemism A situation in which a species or other taxonomic group is restricted to a particular geographic region, owing to factors such as isolation or in response to soil or climatic conditions. Such a taxon is said to be endemic to that region.

Neoendemism is one of two sub-categories of endemism, the ecological state of a species being unique to a defined geographic location. Specifically, neoendemic species are those that have recently arisen, through divergence and reproductive isolation or through hybridization and polyploidy in plants.
