ABSTRACT Biodiversity is unevenly distributed worldwide in terms of both species diversity and species endemism. Although centres of endemism are a conservation priority, both patterns and drivers of endemism are poorly understood in New Zealand. Here we explore whether invertebrate species distribution records in New Zealand represent the complete geographic range of species. We use distribution records of 2,322 invertebrate species to survey variation in range size and regional-endemism among…

Spatial Variation of Acanthophlebia cruentata (Ephemeroptera), a Mayfly Endemic to Te Ika-a-Māui—North Island of Aotearoa, New Zealand

As judged from wing length, both sexes of adult mayflies were larger at higher elevation and it was found that haplotype region was also a significant predictor of Acanthophlebia cruentata size, suggesting that the mitochondrial marker is concordant with nuclear genetic differences that might be explained by founder effect during range expansion.

Floristic analysis of semi-arid mountain ecosystems of the Griqualand West centre of plant endemism, Northern Cape, South Africa

Persisting in a glaciated landscape: Pleistocene microrefugia evidenced by the tree wētā Hemideina maori in central South Island, New Zealand

Repeated cycles of Pleistocene glaciation have influenced phylogeographic structure of taxa on New Zealand's South Island. Many taxa became restricted to refugia at either end of the island during…

Viromes of Freshwater Fish with Lacustrine and Diadromous Life Histories Differ in Composition

An important survey of the viruses that infect two widespread native fish species in New Zealand, which observed that both viral richness and taxonomic diversity were significantly associated with life history and host species, with lacustrine R. retropinna characterised by higher viral alpha diversity than diadromous R. retracta.

A new species of large Hemiandrus ground wētā (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae) from North Island, New Zealand.

A new species of Hemiandrus ground wētā is described from North Island, New Zealand that is larger and more brightly coloured than other species in the region, but appears to be scarce and restricted to remnant native forest habitat.

Spatial distribution of species, genus and phylogenetic endemism in the vascular flora of New Zealand, and implications for conservation

Centres of species CWE, genus CWE and genus CPE overlap with the New Zealand conservation estate and Randomisations showed that the South Island mountains have greater species corrected weighted endemism (CWE) than expected, whereas the randomisations showed the northern half of the North Island and northern offshore islands to have greaterEndemism than expected.

Evolution of the New Zealand vascular flora: Regional and provincial patterns of richness, radiation, and endemism

Abstract Analysis of species richness, radiation, and endemism in 171 list‐regions and 19 botanical provinces of the New Zealand botanical region indicates that the Late Cenozoic radiation of the New…

The Invertebrate Life of New Zealand: A Phylogeographic Approach

It is found that several geophysical processes make similar phylogeographic predictions for the same landscape, rendering confirmation of the drivers of partitioning difficult and future multi-gene analyses where applied to testable alternative hypotheses may help resolve further the rich evolutionary history of New Zealand's invertebrates.

Patterns of Endemism and Species Richness in Malagasy Cophyline Frogs Support a Key Role of Mountainous Areas for Speciation

The locations of six positively correlated centers of SR and endemism that can neither be explained by stochastic models such as elevational or latitudinal mid-domain effect, nor by low-elevation river catchments support a key role of mountainous areas for speciation of these anurans, although it cannot exclude an influence of habitat loss due to human impact.

Phylogenetic measures of neo- and palaeo-endemism in the indigenous vascular flora of the New Zealand archipelago

Some revision of previously suggested biogeographic boundaries is proposed, with the boundaries of the central South Island alpine gap being further north than previous studies have inferred, and the possibility that Pliocene marine transgression contributed to shaping the central North Island palaeo-endemism boundary is discussed.

DIVERSIFICATION OF RAINFOREST FAUNAS: An Integrated Molecular Approach

The current major hypotheses are outlined, predictions relevant to integrated molecular approaches are developed, and the current evidence is evaluated, focusing on central African, Australian, and South American systems.

Secondary Sympatry Caused by Range Expansion Informs on the Dynamics of Microendemism in a Biodiversity Hotspot

This work analyzes the mode, tempo and geography of speciation in Agnotecous, a cricket genus endemic to New Caledonia showing a generalized pattern of sympatry between species making sympatric speciation plausible, and suggests that the diversification of Ag notecous occurred mostly through allopatricSpeciation in the last 10 Myr.

The coincidence of rarity and richness and the potential signature of history in centres of endemism

We investigate the relative importance of stochastic and environmental/topographic effects on the occurrence of avian centres of endemism, evaluating their potential historical importance for…

Species Radiation of Carabid Beetles (Broscini: Mecodema) in New Zealand

The inferred timings indicate radiation of these beetles no earlier than the mid-Miocene with most divergences being younger, dating to the Plio-Pleistocene, emphasising the youthful and dynamic nature of New Zealand evolution that will be further elucidated with detailed ecological and population genetic analyses.
