“This can lead to inflated estimates both of apparent local stratigraphic resolution and the degree of faunal endemism.”

“Some measure of the level of endemism should be used to distinguish sites of international importance.”

“Coral reefs are of global importance owing to their high level of biodiversity, their degree of endemism and their large gene pools.”

“Some advised restrictions on clinical practice in areas of high HIV endemicity or poor standards of supervision or infection control.”

“A healthy child from an area of high endemicity receives an annual physical.”

“The main method of spread in areas of high endemicity is vertical transmission from carrier mother to child.”

“Island populations and insular endemics thus appear to be especially vulnerable to extinction due to genetic factors.”

“Despite these recent studies, however, detailed investigations of the effects of fire on most scrub endemics have not been carried out.”

“Most of the non-endemic species within this group have adapted to ruderal areas, while none of the endemics occupies this kind of habitat.”
