Item type: Item , Plant and animal endemism in the eastern Andean slope: challenges to conservation(BioMed Central, 2012) Jennifer J. Swenson; Bruce E. Young; Stephan Beck; Patrick Comer; Jesús H. Córdova; Jessica Dyson; Dirk Embert; Filomeno Encarnación; Wanderley Ferreira; Irma FrankeWe identify for the first time, areas of high endemic species concentrations and high irreplaceability that have only been roughly indicated in the past at the continental scale. We conclude that new complementary protected areas are needed to safeguard these endemics and ecosystems. An expansion in protected areas will be challenged by geographically isolated micro-endemics, varied endemic patterns among taxa, increasing deforestation, resource extraction, and changes in climate. Relying on pre-existing collections, publically accessible datasets and tools, this working framework is exportable to other regions plagued by incomplete conservation data.Item type: Item , Priority areas for amphibian conservation in a neotropical megadiverse country: the need for alternative, non place based, conservation(Springer Science+Business Media, 2011) Dirk Embert; Steffen Reichle; Daniel M.
