• Identification of priority areas for plant conservation in Madagascar using Red List criteria: rare and threatened Pandanaceae indicate sites in need of protection (2007, background): “The latter is a function of both endemism and richness, and is also referred to as endemism richness (Kier & Barthlott, 2001).”
• Global patterns of agricultural land‐use intensity and vertebrate diversity (2015, methodology): “We chose endemism richness (Kier & Barthlott, 2001; Kier et al., 2009) as it combines aspects of both species richness and species’ range sizes within an assemblage.”
• Botanical richness and endemicity patterns of Borneo derived from species distribution models (2009, methodology): “To develop the endemicity pattern we used the weighted endemism index (Crisp et al. 2001, Kier and Barthlott 2001, Küper et al. 2006, Slatyer et al. 2007).”
• Deficiency in African plant distribution data - missing pieces of the puzzle (2006, background): “Range-size rarity (RSR) is an index that weights the species richness according to the range sizes of the species present (Williams et al ., 1996; Linder, 1998; Kier & Barthlott, 2001) and is calculated by summing the inverse of the range sizes of the species present in each grid cell.”
• Overview of distribution patterns of zooxanthellate Scleractinia (2015, methodology): “Figure 18, levels of endemism in the central Indo-Pacific, were calculated by the endemism richness index (Crisp et al., 2001; Kier and Barthlott, 2001; see Casagranda et al., 2012 for comparison with other methods of describing endemicity).”
• A global assessment of endemism and species richness across island and mainland regions (2009, methodology): “Summing up the fractions of range equivalents for all species within each mapping unit would then reflect both endemism and species richness (21, 26).”
• Diversity hotspots and conservation gaps for the Chinese endemic seed flora (2016, background): “, 2001), and quantitative indices of endemism have been widely used in the management of biodiversity resources, particularly in the identification of priority areas for biodiversity conservation (Kier and Barthlott, 2001).”
• Global patterns of plant diversity and floristic knowledge (2005, background): “Various studies have demonstrated a fairly good correlation between species richness and range-size rarity or endemism (Crisp et al., 2001; Kier & Barthlott, 2001; Linder, 2001; Ricketts, 2001; Taplin & Lovett, 2003).”
• Herbarium collections and field data‐based plant diversity maps for Burkina Faso (2005, unknown): “Approaches to apply a ‘quality criterion’ to species have been attempted, for example by classifying species according to the size of their distribution area (Kier & Barthlott, 2001; Küper et al ., 2004).”
