In biology, the term endemic can be used to describe a species (ecology) or a disease(medicine).In ecology, anendemic speciesrefers to a species that is native to where it is found. A species can be endemic to a particular small geographical area, such as a single island, or to a la...
(of a region)." A disease that affects many more people than usual in a particular area or that spreads into regions in which it does not usually occur is said to beepidemic.This word, built from the prefixepi-,meaning "upon," anddemos,means "upon the people." In order for a ...
Endemic species, in ecology, any species or other taxon whose geographic range or distribution is confined to a single given area. Although the species may inhabit a very small area, such as a single lake, or its range may extend across an entire contine
Study area and population genetic structure. (a) Geographic location of the two recently discovered colonies of the Mascarene petrel (Pseudobulweria aterrima) on Réunion Island: Rond Des Chevrons (RDC; yellow star) and Rivière des Remparts (RIR; rose star). The blue triangles represent the lo...
In this study, infections withPlasmodiumspp. were assessed in adults residing in the Lukelenge health district, a previously unexplored area located in the DRC—one of the two most malaria endemic countries in the world [6]. Overall, adults at the community level, although remaining asymptomatic...
climate change (e.g. altered agricultural activities, different fishing efforts, human migration, or targeted area protection) can influence the ability of species to cope, adjust, or disperse away from climate impacts, we call for further investigations to consider them in vulnerability assessments52...
