Overview

Analysis of drivers affecting bird endemism reveals crucial conservation insights for Chinese avifauna.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the factors influencing bird endemism patterns in China.
  • Quantified geographic distribution patterns of 1127 bird species in China
  • Analyzed associations of biotic interactions, climate factors, species traits, and human activities
  • Examined the role of plant species richness and productivity in driving endemism
  • Species and phylogenetic endemism was highest in northwestern and southwestern China
  • Higher species richness and altitudinal range linked to increased endemism
  • Negative associations found between endemism and clutch size and cropland area.
