Species invasions threaten the antiquity of China's freshwater fish fauna (2017, background): “Likely half of all species are endemic to China (Liu et al., 2003; Tang et al., 2006).”
Plant phylogeography in arid Northwest China: Retrospectives and perspectives (2015, background): “In particular, the Ili Valley, as a biodiversity hotspot of Northwest China (Tang et al., 2006) located near the juncture between the northern and southern branches of the Tianshan Mountains, is shown to have been a biotic glacial refugium where plants persisted during glacial periods (Zhang et…”
Identifying hotspots of endemic woody seed plant diversity in China (2012, methodology): “, 1993), this level of area has been widely used in previous studies (Prendergast et al., 1993; La Ferla et al., 2002; Tang et al., 2006), including the identification of the diversity centres of gymnosperms in China (Li et al.”
Distribution and conservation of threatened plants in China (2015, methodology): “…hotspots of threatened plants identified in this study are mostly located in the biodiversity hotspots identified in China (Tang et al., 2006), and this pattern is consistent with that in other plant groups in China, such as woody plants (Wang et al., 2011) and overall plants (Tang et al., 2006).”
Distribution and conservation of orchid species richness in China (2015, unknown): “The pattern of orchid richness is coincident with that of other groups in China (López-Pujol et al., 2006; Tang et al. 2006; Zhang and Ma, 2008; Wang et al., 2011).”
Centres of plant endemism in China: places for survival or for speciation? (2011, unknown): “Interestingly, most of the centres of endemism identified here coincide with those obtained for several groups of animals, for example birds (Lei et al., 2003), mammals (Tang et al., 2006), amphibians (Chen & Bi, 2007) and insects such as grasshoppers (Xu, 2005) and aphids (Huang et al., 2008).”
The role of the uplift of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau for the evolution of Tibetan biotas (2015, background): “1) which are listed among the main biodiversity hotspots of the Northern Hemisphere (Myers et al., 2000; Myers, 2003; Myers & Mittermeier, 2003; Tang et al., 2006) and are assumed to be particularly vulnerable to climate change (Zheng, 1996; Yao et al.”
Mountains of Southern China as “Plant Museums” and “Plant Cradles”: Evolutionary and Conservation Insights (2011, methodology): “According to Tang et al (2006), about 92% of the country’s plant genera and 90.5% of endemic plant genera are located in just 10 areas, all of them in southern mountain regions.”
Diversity hotspots and conservation gaps for the Chinese endemic seed flora (2016, background): “…11 of the 14 terrestrial key areas for conservation of China's biodiversity proposed byWang et al. (1993); the 10 hotspot ecoregions identified by Tang et al. (2006); eight of the 11 terrestrial critical regions for conservation of China's biodiversity proposed by Chen (1998); 16 of the 32…”
Features and distribution patterns of Chinese endemic seed plant species (2011, methodology): “…the relationship of the number of taxa and the land area is usually exponential (He et al., 1996), we used an area-adjusted species density equation (Tang et al., 2006) as a measure of diversity (Qian, 1998) to minimize the effect of area size on the relationship of species richness and latitude.”
