Disturbance effects on diversity of epiphytes and moths in a montane forest in Ecuador (2008, unknown): “The northern Andes are among the most species-rich regions on earth (Myers, Mittermeier, Mittermeier, Fonseca, & Kent, 2000) and therefore are considered a top-priority area for conservation (Brummitt & Lughadha, 2003).”
The role of the uplift of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau for the evolution of Tibetan biotas (2015, background): “…(Rull, 2008; Antonelli et al., 2009; Hoorn et al., 2010; Phillips, Hopper & Dixon, 2010; Hughes, Pennington & Antonelli, 2013), despite considerable controversy about which metric(s) to use to delineate these hotspots (Brummitt & Lughadha, 2003; Kareiva & Marvier, 2003; Possingham & Wilson, 2005).”
Diversity and composition of Arctiidae moth ensembles along a successional gradient in the Ecuadorian Andes (2005, background): “Tropical montane rain forests are highly threatened hotspots of global diversity (Mittermeier et al ., 1998; Myers et al ., 2000; Brummitt & Lughadha, 2003; Myers, 2003).”
Diversity hotspots and conservation gaps for the Chinese endemic seed flora (2016, background): “The inset in the right bottom of the figure shows the south boundary of China, Hunan (Brummitt and Lughadha, 2003); north Guangdong and south Hunan (Cañadas et al., 2014); southeast Tibet (Cadotte and Davies, 2010); southeast Anhui and northwest Zhejiang (Chen, 1998); south Zhejiang, northwest Fujia”
Integrating Habitat Status, Human Population Pressure, and Protection Status into Biodiversity Conservation Priority Setting (2005, background): “Myers et al. (2000), Brummitt and Lughadha (2003), Myers and Mittermeier (2003), and Ovadia (2003) rank hotspots for conservation priority setting, but their ranking is based on the number and number-area ratio of endemic species.”
Montane Andean rain forests are a global diversity hotspot of geometrid moths (2005, background): “Due to the very high diversity and endemism of plants, Brummitt & Lughadha (2003) ranked the tropical Andes as the top global hotspot.”
A global assessment of endemism and species richness across island and mainland regions (2009, background): “Of course, the resulting figures do not reflect the number of endemics present on the standard area (57, 58), but rather the minimum values of endemism richness (21, 25).”
Conservation Biogeography: assessment and prospect (2005, background): “In illustration, critics of Conservation International’s hotspots scheme (see, e.g. Humphries, 2001; Brummitt & Lughadha, 2003; Ovadia, 2003) have recently been labelled ‘dissidents’ by the scheme’s originator (Myers & Mittermeier, 2003).”
Identifying hotspots of endemic woody seed plant diversity in China (2012, background): “In past decades, researchers have paid much attention to species diversity, which is the most prominent and readily recognizable form of biodiversity and includes species richness and number of endemic, rare or threatened species (Reid, 1998; Brummitt & Lughadha, 2003; Orme et al., 2005).”
Knowing But Not Doing: Selecting Priority Conservation Areas and the Research–Implementation Gap (2008, methodology): “Global-scale conservation assessments are thought to lack effectiveness in informing the delivery of conservation action (Mace et al. 2000; Whitten et al. 2001; Brummitt & Lughadha 2003).”
