Re: Regions?

Wow. Very interesting, thanks.

Can you help me with the following:

quote:
Finally, it explains why species distribution is not uniform around the globe — some 25 regions contain over 70% of all primate and carnivore species diversity, for instance. (Sechrest et al, 2002)

Is region some spatially fixed measurement within this field? I’m having difficulty understanding what the 70% and 25 ‘regions’ actually covers.

Re: Regions?

I see the 25 regions weren’t 25 singled out of some greater number, but 25 total identified up until that point.

I really like this approach, like rock layers it should be able to explained to someone without a science background.

Thank you.
