Regions with Mediterranean climate (wet winters and dry summers) account for most of the world's extra- tropical biodiversity hotspots (Myers et al. 2000), being both highly diverse and highly endangered. The biota of these regions is characterized by high diversity, with large numbers of ...
one of the biggest concerns was that indigenous peoples’ rights and knowledge would be explicitly recognized, since 80% of the world’s surviving biodiversity hotspots are located on lands managed by indigenous people [202]. The GBF now includes such ...
In Kerala, studies have reported presence of numerous micro-organisms from the Western Ghats which is one of the world's biodiversity hotspots. It is interesting to note that the tropical climate and extremely acidic soils of Kerala are home to many microorganisms. Several studies for microbial ...

Although, major advances have been made in our understanding of the relationships of higher groups of plants to each other (APG III 2009, Chase & Reveal 2009), studies on botanical diversity are still vital in understanding the distribution of species, locating diversity hotspots, and enhancing ...
and/or import of IWT takes place. The UNODC recorded in its database that no single country is responsible for more than 9 % of seizure incidents[7]. Still, some regions are hotspots for specific taxa, e.g. Oceania for corals or Central and South America for birds[9]. Furthermore, pl...

Resolving ecological-economic trade-offs between biodiversity and yields is a key challenge when addressing the biodiversity crisis in tropical agricultural landscapes. Here, we focused on the relation between seven different taxa (trees, herbaceous plan
