Jun 26, 2024 · Conservation - Endemic Species, Biodiversity, Preservation: To learn what makes centres of human-caused extinctions special, one can ask what are their common features. Obviously, many of these places and their species are well known.
3 days ago · Endemic species are those found exclusively in a specific geographic location, often isolated areas like islands, and nowhere else on Earth. These species have evolved to adapt to their unique environments but face limitations in their distribution.
Jun 29, 2024 · Whether the prevalence of dengue in dengue-endemic countries of Southeast Asia may be triggering newer mutations in the coronavirus is a factor that needs to be investigated more extensively, the ...
2 days ago · According to Rana & Ranade (2009) a total of 236 monotypic genera (84 are endemics) are found in India, of which 176 are dicotyledones and remaining 60 are monocotyledones; Poaceae with 32 taxa are the most dominant family, followed by Leguminosae (15), Asteraceae (12), Rubiaceae (11) and Orchidaceae (10).
5 days ago · Deodar cedar (Cedrus deodara), a highly valued endemic species, grows mainly in the western part of the range. Stands of that species occur between 6,300 and 9,000 feet (1,900 and 2,700 metres) and tend to grow at still higher elevations in the upper valleys of the Sutlej and Ganges rivers.
Jun 26, 2024 · Endemism and rarity. As previously discussed, a small geographic range makes a species particularly vulnerable to global extinction. Many of the threats to species are geographically restricted, so species with large ranges will survive somewhere even if they are locally extirpated. Species with small ranges do not have this “reserve.”
Jun 16, 2024 · Dengue is not endemic in Europe — the virus cannot live on its own here, it needs a so-called “vector”, a body in which to live, such as someone who is bitten by a mosquito in a dengue-endemic region and comes home with dengue in their blood.
