Resumen:
The recent availability of high-quality global distribution data has created newopportunities for historical biogeography. A data matrix of species, generaand families of mammals of the World was analyzed employing pheneticclustering obtaining remarkable results on biogeography divisions of theworld (Kreft & Jetz 2010, Journal of Biogeography 37, 2029-2053). Here, wereanalyze the data focusing on spatial concordance, according to theconcept of areas of endemism. Given the magnitude of this task (a gridconsisting of 110x360 grid-cells, and about 5700 taxa with some dependencein the simultaneous inclusion of higher taxa and their constituting species),special algorithms and protocols are required. These, as well as results, willbe discussed in this presentation.
