The term endemism is used here to express the number of endemic
species as a percentage of the total number of species in a certain country, region, genus, family, or order.
Introduced, extinct, unconfirmed, and unnamed species are not included in the total number of species. Example: "Country X" has 96 species of which 12 are endemic. The endemism is: 12/96 = 0.125 = 12.5 % |
