Popis: | Aim To infer areas of endemism for the tribe Oryzomyini in South America by employing a database of species richness and geographical distribution, and to compare these results with areas of endemism and species richness proposed in the literature for other taxa. Location We analysed specimens of the tribe Oryzomyini distributed throughout South and Central America, which are housed in European, North and South American museums and collections. Methods We analysed 2768 occurrence records for 102 species of the tribe Oryzomyini using the ndm/vndm algorithm and three different grid sizes to assess the possible effects of grid cell area on the results. Results Using the overlap of consensus areas in South America, we identified three generalized areas of endemism for the Oryzomyini: north-western South America (NWSA), eastern South American (ESA), and northern South America |
