Towards an understanding of the drivers of broad-scale patterns of rarity-weighted richness for vertebrates

2019-12-01

Abstract excerpt

To combat biodiversity loss, conservation planners prioritize sites with high complementarity (ability to represent all or most species in a few sites), but little work has been done to understand the traits that influence site complementarity. Here we focus on the drivers of rarity-weighted richness (RWR), a metric of site endemism that has previously been demonstrated to be a reliable metric of site complementar...
