Talk:Endemism

edit to intro
I'd like to remove the second sentence from the article, because it doesn't do anything for me. Much better would be a paragraph explaining more specifically what physical or biological barriers might create an endemic species. Sectoid2727 (talk) 21:43, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Add area?
What is the criteria for inclusion in areas of high levels of endemism?

I wonder if the Canary Islands fits the bill, though the document is still undergoing peer review. See: http://www.worldwildlife.org/wildworld/profiles/terrestrial/pa/pa1203_full.html
