Biodiversity Hotspots - The Earth’s biodiversity is evenly distributed across its surface. There are over a thousand major eco-regions in the world. It is estimated that there are about 200 richest, rarest and most distinctive natural areas in the world
Madagascar may be famous for its lemurs and breathtaking scenery, but it is also one of the world's 36 biodiversity‘hotspots’. These are characterised by an exceptional concentration of endemic species* but also by a very high risk of degradation. Evrard Wendenbaum...
From here, attention turns to critically examining a conservation image familiar to many: a map of earth''s biodiversity hotspots. This analysis is not to argue that such spaces do not exist. Rather, it is to emphasize how, as representations of biodiversity, they provide only a partial view...
Although eDNA metabarcoding has the potential for community-wide assessment, attempts to gather the much-needed baseline biodiversity data from tropical and subtropical hotspots have so far been limited30,31,32. By being highly scalable, non-invasive to the taxa being detected, and allowing ...
Below are the Top 10 surprising findings from the 2020 Map of Biodiversity Importance initiative. 01 / 10 1. Rainforests and coral reefs aren't the only places that matter. When most people think about biodiversity hotspots, they envision lush rainforests like the Amazon basin, or coral reefs ...
