An improved method for the identification of areas of endemism using species co-occurrences
(2008)Aim: To develop a simple method that (1) combines the notions of biotic elements (groups of taxa with ranges significantly more similar to each other than to the ranges of other taxa) and of areas of endemism (AoE, areas ...
