... can occur in fine-scaled mosaics and are ideal for investigating fauna responses to habitats, their spatial extent and the boundaries between habitats. Occurrences of complex vegetation types at high elevation are of international interest because they can contain relict ecosystems and endemic species...

... and effective management, particularly of rare and threatened species. The Spotted Mulga Snake ( Pseudechis butleri ) is a key example of an understudied endemic reptile, limited to the Mid West region of Western Australia.

...Jessica R. Marsh; Richard V. Glatz ABSTRACT The black summer fires of 2019–2020 burnt almost half of Kangaroo Island (KI), impacting large areas of high-quality native vegetation supporting many rare, endemic and/or undescribed invertebrate species.

... species are perceived as vital and integral resources, while ecologically, wild and feral mammals are still viewed as foreign and unwelcome. In comparison to areas with large endemic mammal faunas such as Australia, the science of mammalogy in New Zealand is primarily the synthesis of the study...
