5 Defining Biodiversity Hotspots Myers Hotspots: Earth s Biologically Richest and Most Endangered Terrestrial Ecoregions (1999) Defined as "a biogeographic region with a significant reservoir of biodiversity that is threatened with destruction. Twenty-four areas are identified that support nearly 60% of the world's plant, bird, mammal, reptile, and amphibian species. Half of the world s plant species and 42 percent of all terrestrial vertebrate species are endemic to hotspots. Cover only 2.3 percent of the Earth's land surface.

10 Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena Bordered by Mesoamerica in the north, and to the east the Tropical Andes hotspots. Main threats include: urbanization, hunting (large birds and mammals), and deforestation, especially mangroves. Ecuador's coastal forests are only 2 percent of their original area consequently species presence continue to decline.
11 Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena Hotspot Original Extent (km 2 ) 274,597 Hotspot Vegetation Remaining (km 2 ) 65,903 (24%) Endemic Plant Species 2,750 Endemic Threatened Birds 21 Endemic Threatened Mammals 7 Endemic Threatened Amphibians 8 Extinct Species 4 Human Population Density (people/km 2 ) 51 Area Protected (km 2 ) 34,338
12 Tropical Andes Greatest biodiversity on Earth Contain about 1/6 of all plant spp. in <1% of earth's surface Species with unusual life histories e.g. Andean bromeliad 100 yrs to mature. Highest amphibian diversity in the world, also highest proportion of endangered species. Threats include: mining, timber extraction, oil exploration, and narcotics plantations, hydroelectric dams, cattle ranching and invasive species.

75 T. arntzeni
76 arntzeni -> ivanbureschi The two cryptic species comprising Triturus ivanbureschi sensu lato are distributed in Asiatic Turkey and the south-eastern Balkan Peninsula. A rough distribution outline for T. ivanbureschi sensu stricto is shown in green and for T. anatolicus sp. nov. in red. The two taxa meet at a hybrid zone in northwestern Asiatic Turkey. A rough distribution outline for T. karelinii sensu stricto with which Triturus ivanbureschi sensu lato until recently was considered to be conspecific is in blue. Records of Triturus newts are absent from most of NE Turkey, suggesting that the ranges of T. anatolicus sp. nov. and T. karelinii sensu stricto do not meet. White dots represent type localities for, from left to right, T. ivanbureschi sensu stricto, T. anatolicus sp. nov. and T. karelinii sensu stricto.
77 Biogeographical scenario for Triturus in response to the last glacial to current interglacial climate shift. Shown are the inferred approximate positions of glacial refugia (dark shades) and postglacially colonized area (light shades; arrows reflect approximate colonization routes). Areas where species displaced one another are shown in grey. For T. dobrogicus, neither the genetic nor species distribution modeling approach manages to recover a refugium.
