Endemism

Duration: 10:01
Updated: 29 Oct 2014

Endemism is the ecological state of a species being unique to a defined geographic location, such as an island, nation, country or other defined zone, or habitat type; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. The extreme opposite of endemism is cosmopolitan distribution. Another term for a species that is endemic is precinctive, which applies to species (and subspecific categories) that are restricted to a defined geographical area.

Madeira and Island Ecology

Duration: 5:18
Updated: 24 Nov 2014

Madeira is often referred to as the floating garden. The reason for this unusual name, its astonishing floral diversity. Out of the hundreds of species of plant, a high proportion of these are endemic to Madeira. Endemism is a common pattern shared by oceanic islands around the world. So why is this case? In this episode, David explores the fundamentals of island ecology, in an introduction to the subject. --- If you like this episode, or any other, why not hit that subscribe button?

Agrodiversity Hotspots

Duration: 7:37
Updated: 22 Sep 2014

There are several remarkable biodiversity rich places in the world primarily known as the ‘Biodiversity Hotspots’. Literature suggests that these are prioritised areas which have high species endemism but extreme habitat loss and therefore, receive focused conservation attention. In a similar manner, there are several pockets of agrodiversity rich areas which have a high diversity of traditional crops and crop germplasm, but are threatened by rapid land use changes and policy driven agricultural transformation, and; hence in urgent need for conservation attention. In the Hindu Kush Himalayan region, such repositories of traditional agro-resources are paradoxically concentrated among the remote and marginalized communities residing in areas where the ingress of so called "Green Revolution" has not been effectively felt. These communities still manage (and hence conserve) the germplasm of traditional crop varieties for their sustenance, and hence, are de facto custodians of an agro-biodiversity that is critical for inter-generational and global food security. Through this innovation fund research, we attempted to garner some evidence to authenticate our argument on ‘Agrodiveristy Hotspots’. The long term goal is to subsequently develop a regional analysis for advocating the Hindu Kush Himalayan region as "Agrodiversity Hotspots", and draw attention of global communities to acknowledge and strengthen mountain communities’ knowledge and expertise for their management.

MoBioMarCal- greenspider preview

Duration: 3:36
Updated: 06 Nov 2014

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the richest of the world as far as animal and plant species, with a high level of endemism. The project Mobiomarcal, involved the monitoring of marine biodiversity: the purpose of this project is to explore both the Jonian and the Tyrrhenian coasts of Calabria, looking for particularly valuable sites, worthy of protection. The collected data will feed a georeferenced database of the marine flora and fauna, used to identify, study and evaluate the distribution of habitats and biocoenoses of particular interest, such as those characterized by a high biodiversity or by specific emergency conditions, in the Calabrian seas. The monitoring activity consisted in making a series of video and photo samplings between 40 and 300 meters through the use of a ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle). Numerous unknown areas revealed a rich and unique biodiversity, absolutely unprecedented. New species of mollusks, sponges, corals, and sea fans were found, never reported before in Italian waters: in other words, great results.
