Areas of a high endemic nature Endemic is a name which applies to species of flora and fauna which are exclusive to a specific region. This may be a very extensive area like a continent or a very reduced area such as an island or a particular region. A species is said to be endemic when it has evolved within an ecosystem without expanding into others. Islands tend to have a high incidence of endemic species due to the isolation of the areas and their physio-geographical complexity. See Map>> |
