Phylogenetically diverse Central China proposed as newest global biodiversity hotspot
Taxonomic endemism and phylogenetic endemism are both important measures of biodiversity. The former describes the number of distinct species found nowhere else, whereas the latter shows the amount of evolutionary branch length unique to a particular area. A comprehensive phylogeny provides the essential evolutionary framework for delineating centers of paleo- and neo-endemism across both measures.
